I read that will have an hourly service. Unless I'm confusing that with the train maintenance issue that has reduced the rolling stock.
How are the timetable departments of the TOCs coping with levels of staff vers the virus? Are some struggling with people self isolating? Can staff work from home on such matters as timetable changes?
South Western Railway state on their Web Site:
There will be no service between Aldershot and Guildford, and Ash and Wanborough stations will not be served
https://www.southwesternrailway.com/plan-my-journey/coronvirus-temporary-timetable
So imagine my surprise when today I see a 2 hourly service between Farnham and Guildford is running. Thus Wanborough will be served.
I'll let them know via Twitter but I'm not expecting them to update the Web Site information, even after being informed, as they haven't always done so in the past.
If they did, it would be the first mention of Guildford to Farnham ever during these kind of large scale amended timetables, despite them running over 300 services a week between them under normal circumstances!
I see there was a 4:31 Reading to Gatwick Airport. I didn't think any trains were going to Gatwick Airport. After that the next train isn't until 5:56 and it terminates at Redhill. Then you get another gap until 7:27 and then a 7:56.
I guess either stock movement or when passengers are most likely to want to travel may have dictated those times.
I also see there are 20:27, 21:20, 22:29 and 23:34 services from Reading to Gatwick Airport. I am assuming as they usually run to Gatwick Airport, they will.
Tomorrow's timetable for Great Western Railway isn't up yet. I assume in time they will get to a point whereby the timetables for the week can be uploaded in advance, given this is in force for some unknown length of time.
I had wanted to look up how to get from Guildford to Brighton, without doing each stage manually but I'm too late today for the time I wish to travel and tomorrow's timetable is currently wrong. On top of that until this morning, I would have expected no trains between Guildford and Gatwick Airport, as there Web Site doesn't mention it.
Now the timetable is hopefully fixed, hopefully they can upload tomorrow's timetable sooner.
