There are no trains in the area around Bristol Parkway for 3 weeks from Saturday 15th September. I’ve heard that XC services between Birmingham New Street and Bristol Temple Meads are diverted and will be calling at Gloucester and Newport. I’ve also read that XC will only be running hourly between Birmingham and Bristol for those 3 weeks with mainly only the NE to SW trains running. A small number of these trains will terminate at Exeter St David’s instead of running through to Plymouth and also Newcastle instead of to Edinburgh or Glasgow.
Does anyone know whether any of these trains will be double Voyager sets, at least between Birmingham and Bristol, if the service is to be hourly with no trains from Manchester to the SW running. I suppose Manchester passengers could travel via Shrewsbury and change at Newport.
