I think South Gloucestershire still have to fund the service in some sort as it passes through there local authority.

https://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/18453436.newport-politicians-calls-save-stagecoach-bristol-service/ Monmouthshire council are in discussions with South Gloucestershire about co-funding the Chepstow to Cribbs/Bristol service and NT are interested in operating if they both agree to...

I totally forgot about BCT could be ideal for them to expand there network into North Somerset and also could do though day ticket with Metrobus for connecting journeys onto Bradley Stoke and UWE and Bristol Parkway in the future with changing buses at Cribbs Causeway.

Are there any independent operators based on the Weston end of the route which would be willing to take up the route as there is no alternatives modes of transport linking 3 major North Somerset towns together.

Very surprised that SEV service is being pulled after 9 months especially Chepstow - Bristol leg (not surprised about the Newport leg being cutback as gets low passenger flow) once this pandemic is over a lot of Chepstow commuters aren’t going to be very happy with no buses to Bristol.

Isn’t it 42 days notice that bus operators in England have to give to the Traffic Commissioner for any changes to services?

Up platform loop (Platform 0), Line A up to and including Cardiff Brickyard sidings, Lines B to E up to Cardiff West Jn and Up Barry Relief (Platform 4).

The line will be closed between Castle Cary and Taunton between 14 - 29 March so WOE services are diverted via Bristol.

Isn’t that 170’s are known for there really slow acceleration for a DMU which imo not really suited for all stopper service with stops so close together. As when first introduced were designed for regional express services with limited stops.

Yes that’s correct the sign reminds drivers to lower pans and turn on diesel engines for ECS moves to Hereford.

Electric services are starting on Monday 6 January at the earliest according to Network Rail Wales & Borders Twitter feed. https://twitter.com/networkrailwal/status/1211227219097468929?s=21

Yes test train will be making 24 trips between Cardiff Brickyard Sidings and Gaer Jn to test the OLE from St Bride’s (Newport) neutral section to the limit of wires at Cardiff West Jn/Line A and Brickyard Sidings...

Has the section of OLE between St Brides (Newport) and Cardiff Central now been switched on as of Christmas Day and if so when is the first day of electric revenue passenger services will likely to be?

Well the timetable will be out of the window today with 2 incidents on the network. One is emergency work on a defective track on the fast London board line near Slough and a person hit by a train between Bath Spa and Chippenham.

All I noticed is 2 square yellow boxes underneath the track around STJ, is that something to do with that lowers pantographs automatically in the event the driver forgets to pan down before the end of the OLE area?

More work is needed in the Severn Tunnel to resolve the issues relating the the conductor bar and earthing before bringing into use.

With trains switching to diesel or vice versa at the M4 bridge or big White House near Undy.

Class 800/802’s are now running electric to Pilning as of today 15 December 2019.

These are only timing loads and don’t read into all the changeover points too seriously. From Sunday trains will certainly go electric to Newport with trains changing over from electric to diesel at Pilning and from diesel to electric at Severn Tunnel Junction at milepost 150.

Interesting that they re using the X14 number which wasn’t used since Stagecoach South Wales withdrawn from Chepstow 6 years ago!
