HOLD

I realise I have made a mistake, there is no direct service to GMV at the time we are travelling so I believe my move is invalid.

Therefore, since my posting that followed yours, based upon the information that was stated in your posting, is also invalid, I will strike-through my posting and ask that you do the same.

In fact your post was valid. I have managed to confuse myself completely with timings but have now amended my post to show the correct time. If you reinstate your post I believe we will be all correct again.

Apologies

 

[dzug2]

It depends on the date of travel and what TT you use

There is a train in the .pdf timetable on FGW's web site. Last Tuesday it was in BR times - next Tuesday there seems to be a change

It does arrive at Great Malvern some two hours later than originally posted

 

[TobyH]

Indeed, I believe then that my edited post is now valid and that makes all subsequent posts valid so we continue from... ?

we take the 2151 FGW service to Charlbury, arriving at 2345 Tuesday evening

I think should retire for tonight!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I have now reinstated my last posting, as requested.
