For many journeys, the better alternative is to head for the H&C station, which can be accessed from the footbridge halfway down the platforms at Paddington. Exiting via the bufferstops adds about 400m to the distance to be walked.Shieldsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00197794322283545552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-37124215999606304922016-05-28T09:23:23.886+01:002016-05-28T09:23:23.886+01:00Other operators do it differently.

For instance Abellio Greater Anglia not only give you a lengthy page of general information about the disruption, but also a complete timetable for each day: https://www.abelliogreateranglia.co.uk/f/139566/139566.pdf.

BUT, The point I make is that a major disruption to travel over this weekend is belittled by the company web sites when it should be a headline.<br /><br />Of course we can use the journey planners -0 assuming they are accurate and up-to-date (which is not always the case), or we can telephone.<br /><br />But I (and many others) feel a stringer sense of comfort and confidence if we can SEE what is happening - and that means having access to timetables.<br /><br />Compare GWR's lack of headlines for Filton with a pretty coloured panel for the less disruptive closure of the Bakerloo line station. <br /><br />GWR doesn't really want you to know how tough it will be. It wants you to buy tickets, and then find out!<br /><br />Inexperienced traveller may go to the web site, but they may NOT find the problem until it's too late.fatbusblokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833340546527596517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-46548656961214070682016-05-28T08:49:24.124+01:002016-05-28T08:49:24.124+01:00Having visited the Cross Country and GWR websites ...Having visited the Cross Country and GWR websites FBB's complaint seems even more self-created given that both have options right at the top of the respective pages for 'Travel updates & information' (Cross Country) or 'Check your journey' (GWR) - hardly the hyperbolic click fest FBB describes.Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-78320616877806936202016-05-28T08:37:23.131+01:002016-05-28T08:37:23.131+01:00Daddysgadgets is spot on - you seem (once again) t...Daddysgadgets is spot on - you seem (once again) to be trying to find fault for fault findings sake. It seems that as you know there's engineering works you've then set out to find out where information about that works can't be found, and then complained you couldn't find it!<br /><br />The national rail enquiries page is the first point of call for most 'normal' folk who want to look for railway information. They don't want to see timetables for journeys they don't want to make. Plan a journey and you get information about planned disruptions to your journey. There's even a big box immediately below the journey planner titled Spring Bank Holiday Check Your Journey Plans that gives information about the closure and diversions in question. <br /><br />It's easy to find the information, unless your mandate is to deliberately set out to not find it and then post another righteous post about not finding information.Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-38506624857792189142016-05-28T03:55:38.276+01:002016-05-28T03:55:38.276+01:00I would suggest that you are making life too diffi...I would suggest that you are making life too difficult for yourself, FBB, by trying to start in the middle. Many people wanting to make a rail journey are not necessarily aware of the route a train will take, nor who the TOC is. They would start at the National Rail Enquiries site. <br /><br />Putting in, for example, Cardiff to Paddington tomorrow, 29th May, this will show them there are through trains operating on which they can make their journey. They may not be happy about the fact that only Standard Open fares are being offered, but that is nothing to do with the timetable.<br /><br />Another journey might be from Birmingham to Exeter. Again, this will show them that there are through trains available.<br /><br />For those passengers there is no need to concern themselves that their train will not operate via Bristol Parkway. Indeed, quite a number may well not be aware that it would have done normally.<br /><br />Those who read Public Transport Experience will doubtless have a much higher than normal level of knowledge about what should normally happen. However, there is a danger of not seeing the wood for the trees. We know how to read timetables, understand the difference between GWR and Cross Country. However, for most travellers they wish to make a journey from A to B, and they are not concerned whether their train may not call at C on the way.<br /><br /> Daddysgadgetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12892897553855129226noreply@blogger.com
