Hello lovely expert train people! Thank you in advance for your help with my question.
I want to travel from Romsey to Bristol on Saturday 13th April, on which date most of the trains are showing part replacement bus service from Westbury which is adding an hour to the journey. However, two of the trains: specifically the 8:21 and the 13:21 out of Romsey don't show the RRB and have the normal journey duration of an hour less. I was trying to book on trainline, but having read some of your knowledgable posts, moved over to NRE and GRW sites which seem to say the same. I've tried opening the journey details and comparing the stops, but the apparently non-RRB trains seem to go through places that the RRB is trying to avoid. I am finding it hard to imagine that there would be a time gap allowing trains through in the problem area (during a lunch hour, for example!?), but what do I know? If anyone can fathom it out, I'd be grateful for your insight. I looked at other routes to travel, but heading down to Southampton and up to Taunton to change again, though an option, will add the same extra time to the journey as the RRB, so maybe not worth it.
Obviously, I don't want to count on the 13:21 getting in at x, to then discover it'll be an hour later, especially as I'm heading for a plane back to Spain the same day. Should I just count that the RRB is inevitable on that route?
