FGW - Bank holiday services

[Mojo]

The National Rail site says that FGW are running a normal Saturday service on routes without engineering works. However, the online Journey planner shows a Mon-Fri service between Temple M and Severn Beach.

Does anyone know what is actually going on, and who I should believe?

Not sure about the Beach! Several services aren't running IIRC, including the first 1 to W-s-M.

Filton-Westons will Start/Terminate at Bristol
The first Down Bristol - Westbury and beyond is to a Sat TT
The first 2 ups are to a Weekday TT!

30 odd FGW locals cancelled in the Bristol area Sunday 26th due to the shortage of drivers as well as several Paignton/Exeter/Exmouths due to no guard.Seems to Par for the course on Sundays now in the south west at least on FGW.Heard a rumour FGW were hauled before the Dft again,any truth in it?.

Yep theres an article about FGW being hauled in again in Modern Railways.
