Thanks for your help and logical explanations fellow forum members. They're now on an 800 on their way back to PAD.

There are a lot of pax going back to London - the trains were all fully booked this morning. 1742069007 Good, I'm relieved, and it sounds more logical too.

Than you that's reassuring - I'll pass on the info. 1742068597 Don't know, I used RTT to get the info

I hope you're right !

My family travelled from Paddington to Cardiff for the 6 Nations Rugby this morning. I've just checked the RTN trains and I cannot believe what I'm seeing. From CDF to PAD 1718. 14 CAR 1819 15 CAR GAME ENDS 1845 1903 5 CAR 1911 West Coast just appeared car ? 1919 10 CAR 1950 4 CAR 2022 LAST...

1734640738 I think you're right.

Thanks Kite, my understanding was, because the trains should terminate at Paddington they were stopping to drop off and pick up passengers at Ealing Broadway so the passengers could connect with Paddington using the Elizabeth line.

A quick update. Your appraisal and information was extremely useful, and my daughter and family were able to change their plans to avoid the strikes and the melee. Thank you.

Thank you 1707981335 Thank you nwales58 for your comprehensive reply. I'll pass it on to my daughter and her family. 1707981423

My daughter and family are travelling on the 17th London Paris, and then Paris Lyon also on the 17th. Eurostar should be ok but on to Lyon, I can't see what they can do. Any advice on options would be much appreciated

Maybe strict adherence to agreed design freeze dates would help a lot too. I did this, eventually, to my wife when I bought a piece of land at auction in 1977 and built a house for us. She devoured my contingency in one fell swoop and then came back for more !

I'm sorry, I'm not suggesting for one moment that democratic oversight should be removed, simply asking the politicians to state their views at the begining of the construction planning and design process, not after the Public Enquiry, and after the contracts are let and shovels have gone into...
