I'll have a final say tomorrow afternoon when my supervisor is finished trying to cover my Saturday shift, then I'll look at train services.

Unfortunately, I will also have to withdraw my attendance due to this snow. ATW cut all train services from Cardiff to the Valleys today, with the last train arriving at Abercynon (from Cardiff) at 15:15....with this weather set to keep thick until Saturday, I cannot risk being stuck between Birmingham and Cardiff. Gutted as I was really looking forward to this.

Snow here is quite thick in Bristol and the possibility is of more for Saturday. I wonder if the meet will end up getting postponed at best: I wouldn't be surprised. Dave Log in to reply |

I get the ticket from Bristol Temple Meads but split the fare to keep the cost down: £44.90 return if I split it but £56.90 if I don't. Having looked on the weather radar I have on my phone it looks now as if there is a gap coming up from the south coast and no lingering weather over France. The heavy stuff that could have come my way last night from the south has not done so and is now over the Irish sea. Dave Log in to reply |

Just for clarification, the meet will still go ahead tomorrow even if there are fewer people attending than expected. I will not be attending as we are still snowed in and cannot yet get to the A1 or Alnmouth Station (which would be pointless in any event at the moment as the ECML is still closed north of Newcastle). In my absence, Karl (Headshot119) will be liaising with the Soloman Cutler and if Karl is unable to get to Birmingham, Alan (agilchrist) or John (Meld) will be making sure that things happen. Because of the logistical difficulties there won't be any name badges at the meet but I am sure people can survive without them! Hope that people do manage to attend and that you all have a good time. “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Last edited: 02/03/2018 at 14:02 by postal Reason: None given Log in to reply |

Unfortunately it is looking likely that I won’t be able to attend the meet now. Having been stranded at work from last night and still not looking likely to make it home anytime soon, I feel that I won’t be able to travel to my booked departure station, or another alternative in time.

I may be forced to rethink if the trains betwen Severn Beach and Bristol TM and / or between Bristol TM and Birmingham New Street fail to run: trying to get my car out would be unwise. I may not know for sure until tomorrow morning whether I will be there. Dave Log in to reply |

I will try to come but I honestly have no idea what the trains will be like tomorrow.

GWR have not said anything for Bristol Temple Meads to Severn Beach though and I don't fancy trying to get my car to Temple Meads in view of the road conditions in my part of Bristol.

I won't know whether I'm coming until the morning. SWMBO insists I need to check the roads are clear and the trains are running before I leave home. It was looking good earlier, but we've had 3 or 4 cm in the last couple of hours.

GWR say 0800 start for west of England services and XC say hourly. Depends on the weather though as to whether (!) I get to Birmingham or not.
