Interesting working through Westbury in August..... 24/05/2015 at 19:44 #72657

Evening all,

With the 24/7 closure of Bathampton Junction for 01st - 31st August 2015 I am working on a SimSig timetable for Bristol, Swindon & Westbury sims which will, I hope, run as a chain.

In the course of my looking at the data I came across this which I thought sounded interesting. It seems that the regular 2O70 (0649 Worcester Shrub Hill - Weymouth) becomes 2T70 and terminates at Bristol Temple Meads to interwork with a Cardiff Central diagram.....

..... while train 2O70 is given as an 0600 from Exeter St. Davids to Weymouth, via. Taunton, Weston-s-Mare, Bristol TM, Bristol Parkway, Swindon, Trowbridge and Westbury with normal route Westbury to Weymouth. Pathed as a Class 15x DMU the total trip time is stated as 5hrs.

This means that the regular route of 2O70 is combined with train 2D02 (0600 Exeter St. Davids to Bristol Parkway). The 2O70 repalcement could be a mistake (I know these things often change before the scheduled date) but it makes interesting reading IMO.

HTIOI,
Dave

And did you ever iron out the bugs in the Whiteball block Exeter TT?

(Not intended as criticism, just not sure why you'd put all the hard work into a TT, only to leave it hanging right at the end)
