Service disruption, Bristol and Bath, June 2026

The 4:50 Fratton to Bristol Temple Meads "is running late because of engineering works not being finished on time". So the 6:46 Trowbridge departure is currently showing as 7:04.

...and the 5:58 Westbury to Cardiff is 'delayed'.

Perhaps start this topic heading off with "Bristol"?

Please do - I just thought that the folder location would cover it, but I guess that's not always visible depending on the context. Bristol and Bath perhaps, or a separate topic for Bath-specific stuff?

Thank you for your constructive suggestions, GBM and JohnM.

I have expanded the heading of this topic, in the interests of clarity and ease of future reference, as ever.

However, I have found in the past that there are problems with trying to define one board specific to Bath.  That's simply because Bath Spa is included on so many routes - London to Bristol, London to the West, Portsmouth to Cardiff, and so on.

In this case, I think posting in 'Bristol and Bath (WECA, now WEMCA)' is as nearly accurate as we can get.

CfN.
