INTRODUCTION:
After many years with its own "Table 50"
in the GBTT this year it was no more. Everything was amalgamated into Table 51.
Whilst there was little
change to the timings of the services, there certainly was to the dates of
operatio with the
start of the winter timetable on the 28th of September.
The Dover train was withdrawn on winter
Saturdays completely and for several weeks it only ran Liverpool to
Reading and vice versa. The Brighton services were also diverted via Redhill and
Guildford for the same period. I assume this was due to the construction of the
North Pole Eurostar Depot which severed the connection to the West of England
mainline at Old Oak Common. After this date trains would have been routed via
West London Junction before turning 180 degrees and heading south for Acton
Wells Junction.
If you know different
please let me know.
Sundays, no service to or from Kent and
the Brighton service, after serving Manchester enroute to Scotland last year now ran
directly up the WCML from Birmingham.
