    FGW West timetable changes from 18th May.

    Maybe off-topic but does anyone know what's happening with the 1852 off of Paignton on weekdays? When I had it in late June it was a single 153 to EXD then 143+150 to BRI but apparently this formation was to be changed from the 4th July. Thanks, Jim.

    X43 Poole - Weymouth starts 27th July

    That sounds like a good plan, but as I said it's a shame the actual X43 no longer goes to Swanage liked it did last year.

    http://www.damory.co.uk/news/x43-weymouth-poole-starts-27-july/ Might do this when I bash the Weymouth Wizard HST again in August. It's just a shame that they've rerouted it to Poole rather than Swanage unlike last year. What does everyone think? Wonder what buses Damory will use on it this...

    Thanks all for the replys so far. :) I have contacted DB on their Twitter to see what happens. Another question, is the ticket also valid on 'private' TOCs what run within the VBB zones, eg. OE, Arriva, etc? Thanks, Jim.

    444's and 450's to be replaced? (answer: no)

    Was reading through the transcript of SWT's recent live web chat. And one of the answers was that It is true that SWT 'have plans' to replace their Desiro fleet. Could anyone shed some more light on these 'plans'? Thanks, Jim.

    Odd 'distance' workings?

    Hi, was wondering because I've noticed some very, very, odd-distanced services lately, for example, an EMT Manchester to Leicester non-stop ECS (Having just terminated from Norwich, and I think it was a WTT schedule despite the Nottingham closure), some Tattenham Corner to London services being...
