Looks as if that’s the first day after the tunnel reopens (that is of course if works are completed on time).

Any times that are in the journey planner, should reflect reality on the day.

The disruption mentioned on the website is shown as Saturday to Thursday. Friday services are shown as normal (with one random exception at 0628!).
Of course, anything can happen :)

As anyone who was trying to get anywhere from Bath on Friday morning can testify- engineering over-runs do happen!
