Cardiff to Nottingham?

[macrodollar]

Hi guys,

First post here is asking for advice though I have been somewhat interested in finding a place like this for a while.
I need to go to Nottingham in the next 2 months from Cardiff but looking at online timetables it looks as if the Central Trains service (possibly merging with Arriva CrossCountry?) direct service has ceased, and that I now need 2 or 3 changes. Anyone know what's happened for sure?

Cheers,
Sam

It shouldn't have ceased - it's one of the key routes in the new Arriva XC franchise. It could be that the timetable isn't fully in the system properly - either that or there are a lot of engineering works!

Ah yes, just tried an alternate date and its there, lot of engineering on the weekend I'm planning to go unfortunately! Screw the commuters, do it in the week!:razz:

No chance.

Yes, there is Engineering work for a few weekends coming up, for the past few Sundays there were diversions via Kidderminster, coming up next weekend buses Bham - GCR.

Is it annual autumn 'close-the-Lickey' time already then? Usually doesn't start until October! Still, plenty of free rides into new St once I'm back at uni when they RRS the crosscity....
