Useful find thanks, are these the only known non-stop services to date?

I did see the 1hr 10mins quoted somewhere, along with the other times to and from Paddington several years back, but can't locate the source anymore, hopefully as we closer, we'll see the official timetable.

1h 19m - Is this from Paddington to BPW or BRS? In fact, what journey times can we expect between Paddington and BPW?

Bristol Parkway have new toilets!

Is there any news on the timetables?

I hope folks on the platform are observing this.

I haven't missed replies. Check the GWR timetable webpage - there's no record of timetables beyond 31st December 2018: https://www.gwr.com/plan-journey/train-times

Less than two months to go, I've not seen any new timetables yet.

I don't know much about track technology but if the complete GWL was replaced assuming the same electric trains were used, what speeds can we be looking at reaching?

That's an interesting anecdote, thanks for the share.

I'll see it when I believe it.

Information from Network Rail says the electrification services will start from January 2019, I'm waiting on information from GWR about timetable release dates.

I'm interested to know what that job is? The demand for intercity travel is still greater than ever. We need to build and maintain a network suitable for the 21st century with 21st century problems. One has to question how France is operating 190mph+ trains since 1981.

What is limiting the top speed to 125mph? If a section of the line is fully electric, 140mph is possible with the Class 800. A snippet I read: "Average journey times will be cut by "up to 15 minutes" on routes from London to cities such as Cardiff, Swansea, Bristol, Leeds, Newcastle and...

Useful information for anyone interested: "The railway through Bristol Parkway will be closed between 15 September and 6 October inclusive, and again on the weekend of 13-14 October. No trains will run via Bristol Parkway during these periods." "The railway through Bristol Parkway will be...

@Mintona - thanks for your interest. Acronym buster: tph - trains per hour. Likewise, interested in both Bristol stations but for the purposes of this thread, please keep discussions mainly to Bristol Parkway.

Hi I'm new here, Hello! I've been using the Great Western mainline for years, and interested a little more in the electrification development of this line and lines connected to it. I read about two years ago from a source I can no longer find, which maybe B.S. now, that journey times after the...
