    Could you explain those terms for a lay person?

    North Filton / Brabazon

    Bristol Brabazon first appears on RTT on 13th December which I think is when the timetable changes. Given that an autumn opening date is mentioned in the various official website, how will a service be provided if the timetable doesn’t change until the winter? I think of December as winter.

    Banking trains in the UK

    Does banking still happen in the UK? If so, how does the rear driver / engine communicate with the front driver / engine? Is the rear engine attached to the train or loose? Thanks in anticipation

    HS2 Old Oak Common

    Like any tool, you need to know its strengths and weaknesses as well as recognising whether output is of the required quality.

    XC Voyager Refurbishment

    I’ve still not been on a refurbished Voyager, have they done anything to improve mobile / GPS reception? I was led to believe the previous poor reception was caused by the metallic solar glazing film on the windows.

    GWR accused of disrupting Wales-England train links by Welsh Government

    Interesting that these all stop at Stapleton Road but not Lawrence Hill. I think all current services stop at both or neither.

    Any prospect of an improved service for Ashley Down?

    From looking at RTT for a late December date it looks like we can now see the revised timetable to allow for Bristol Brabazon. It looks like there are some earlier services, a much later finish, different clock face departures but still hourly for now...

    Any prospect of an improved service for Ashley Down?

    I think that was due to the Severn tunnel being closed.

    Any prospect of an improved service for Ashley Down?

    The station has been open for a while and when I use it to or from Bristol Temple Meads, there are usually around 10 other people getting on or off so there’s clearly some demand for it. However, the last trains are pretty early (2015 from Bristol Temple Meads and 2051 to Bristol Temple Meads)...

    Are you intending on keeping this list updated? It seems to be the best single source of truth on the matter...

    Apologies, I should realised you had a richer source of information! Do you have insight on the frequency?

    North Filton / Brabazon

    Hallen Marsh (just from looking at Traksy)? Will there be time for this extra movement in the existing 1tph timing or will it need more trains on the service? Do you have any idea whether 2tph might be on the cards at this point?

    Cheaper same-day Bristol - London fares?

    Unfortunately the terms are for advance tickets so no use for travelling today... Thank you though as I'll be able to use that next time... 1778752380 Ah, you can now buy advance tickets on the day but when I try to buy them via GWR, there are none available today but plenty tomorrow...

    Cheaper same-day Bristol - London fares?

    I'm going to London this afternoon and will return on the 2330 Paddington departure. I can use either Bristol Parkway or Bristol Temple Meads to leave Bristol. I can't see any great savings on the £78 off peak return and there seem to be be far fewer Paddington bound services stopping at Didcot...
