I have a feeling that some people may have overlooked the OPs #1 and yours, #2. June to September on Saturdays only - this is important!. On normal weekdays there is a lot of short distance travel. Saturdays are regarded as a general to/from weekly holiday day. With all due respect, I do not...
Noted and agree. No comment re. a further southward extension also noted - you could have a fast service, or a semi, which would include WSM. The CDF/PNZ could remain as is - as per my previous post, it all depends on stock, paths etc.

Scheduled for an 80x and the path would appear to be alright. Overall there are 5 mins engineering allowance and 1 for pathing.

Hmmm.... something like 'Trigger point' in that case. Excellent series if you like that sort of thing, which we do here at 'Wychwood'. To skip back to #fandroid and the initial post - I was on the same train. A tannoy message re. station evacuation and a couple of staff on platform 3 dealing...
Today we have all of them reversing at New Street:

Only 165114 on that diagram today - https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:L65651/2024-02-13/detailed#allox_id=0 - given that it is half-term it could be quite cozy!
I would have said some 30+ years ago a CO4 would have been in the same ball-park as a driver - whether it was a 3 or 4 matters little - in those BR days the driver would have had mileage and shift allowance on top. As a CO4 at the time I thought that was reasonable - the role I had then was flat...
Apologies for being off-thread. In contrast to this is the A350 just south-west of Chippenham where passive provision was made to easily extend it to a dual-carriageway without major works. The bridge in the link sees Chippenham to the left and Thingley Jn to the right. Note the as yet unused...
It could be argued that the X1/X2 and the X3 cover rural routes. The former covers Dorset and Hampshire, whilst the latter adds Wiltshire to that. In any case, I am pleased that funding is on the cards for the 40 and 50.
