Got some interesting observation on my way back from Temple Meads this afternoon. Saw 47437 on the A1 from Bristol Airport to the Bus Station.
When did buses on the 8/9 begin to talk to you? 47439 was this afternoon.
On a normal Mon - Fri the 1st X6 is 06:30 and the 1st X8 is 05:50.
On Sat the 1st X6 is 07:30 (And is hourly) and the 1st X8 is 05:50
On Sun + Public Holiday, there is No X6 (Or X5) and the 1st X8 is 08:12.
Sundays inly have the W1 running too! (No X1)

Thanks in advanced

The same should and would be done to everybody...
Lucy, I am sure that your experience was not one that you would wish to repeat and one that the company would not like you to go through, However with the fact that you COULDNOT produce your railcard when required to to a member of Railway staff, your ticket is INVALID. This is one of the rules...
FGW drivers (Exeter based) are route learning into Waterloo for when Reading is closed again some time in 2014. I am not sure if it is just between Westbury - Sailsbury and into Waterloo or if it includes Exeter - Yeovil. I would have though that some drivers are maintained route knowledge of...
