I NOTE THAT TRAVELINE SOUTH WEST ARE ALREADY SHOWING THE NEW "COVID-19" TIMETABLE INFORMATION THAT COMES INTO FORCE TODAY NATIONALLY

******************************************************************************************************************

We next board the 1156 Stagecoach West service Y6 to Chipping Sodbury (Bowling Hill) that arrives there at 1240 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1251 First West of England South Glos Lynx service Y5 to Staple Hill (The Portcullis), arriving there at 1330 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[A Challenge]

We then get the 1409 First Bristol, Bath and the West service 17 to Keynsham Station (Stop A), arriving at 1459 Thursday afternoon.

 

[DanTrain]

So are we using COVID-19 timetables or not then I'm confused?

Assuming not, we now board the 15:11 GWR service 2D83 to Filton Abbey Wood, arriving at 15:39 Thursday afternoon.

 

[A Challenge]

I assumed we were, and would think we should, however in some cases (such as Northern Rail) these seem hard to come by

 

[ValleyLines142]

So are we using COVID-19 timetables or not then I'm confused?

I have been yes. Both my last move on the Y6 and this subsequent move (as well as all future ones for the foreseeable) are all on Saturday timetables.

Assuming not, we now board the 15:11 GWR service 2D83 to Filton Abbey Wood, arriving at 15:39 Thursday afternoon.

We exit the station and take the eight minute walk past the MoD to the McDonald's bus stop on Station Road, where we board the 1557 First West of England service 73 to Bishopston (Hatherley Road), arriving there at 1614 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

There was a conversation recently opened by the forum quizmaster team that sought advice and discussion on whether or not to use the COVID-19 timetables in this current national situation, which obviously are far more outreaching than any normally referred-to localised service disruption timetables. Has there been any decision posted on the thread (including the guide notes and rules) by the forum quizmaster team which will clarify matters for contributors to this particular thread?

 

[DanTrain]

Here we board the 16:28 First West of England service T2 Almondsbury, The Swan, arriving at 17:12 Thursday afternoon.

Using revised COVID-19 Saturday timetables

 

[DerekC]

We don't have long to wait for the 17:23 Bristol service T1 to Harry Stoke where we arrive at 17:35 on Thursday afternoon.

(This route is running a Saturday service, I think)

 

[ValleyLines142]

We next board the 1741 Bristol Community Transport (under contract to First West of England) Metrobus service m1 to Filwood Park (Filwood Broadway), arriving there at 1823 on Thursday evening.

 

[DanTrain]

Here we take a short walk to Hengrove Way, where we board the 19:15 Bath Bus Company service A4 'AirDecker' to Saltford Tyning Road, arriving at 19:36 Thursday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We next board the 2006 Bath Bus Company Air Decker service A4 to Bath (Comfortable Place), arriving there at 2038 on Thursday evening.

 

[DanTrain]

Here we board the 20:50 First Bristol, Bath & the West service 4 to Odd Down, Noads Corner, arriving at 21:06 Thursday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We next board the 2118 First West of England Unibus service U2 to Whiteway (Whiteway Circle), arriving there at 2137 on Thursday evening.

 

[DerekC]

We don't have long to wait for the 21:43 First Bristol, Bath & West service 5 to Bath (Bus Station) where we arrive at 22:03 on Thursday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 2305 Faresaver service X31 to Chippenham (Bus Station) that arrives there at 2359 on Thursday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Certainly wouldn't want to wait in Bath bus station for an hour

As it's late, and remembering that it's a Saturday service for the majority of services, we return in the morning for the 0755 Faresaver service X34 to Melksham (Market Place), arriving there at 0821 on Friday morning.

 

[DanTrain]

Here we board the 09:20 Faresaver service X72 to Devizes, Market Place, arriving at 09:38 Friday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

From The Pelican, we board the 1030 Faresaver service X72 to Bathford (Bathford Bridge), arriving there at 1111 on Friday morning.

 

[DanTrain]

From the Westwoods stop around the corner, we now board the 11:36 First Bristol, Bath & West service D3 'discover' to Atworth, Clock Tower, arriving at 11:48 Friday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We next board the 1205 Faresaver service X72* to Urchfont (The Croft), arriving there at 1310 on Friday afternoon.

* Upon arrival into Devizes from Bath, the X72 does the loop via Potterne and Market Lavington on the return back to Devizes (and then onto Bath), so outbound, it looks as if you can only go from Urchfont to Bath but not the return!

 

[DanTrain]

Here we board the 13:59 Faresaver service X72 to Kingsdown, opposite Swan, arriving at 15:08 Friday afternoon.

I hope - this timetable is very hard to follow!

 

[DerekC]

Well, we don't have any choice here but to wait for the next Faresaver X72 at 16:08 to Bath (Grand Parade) where we arrive at 16:25 on Friday afternoon.

(We have made the most of the X72 which is good since it is being discontinued from 4th April)

 

[Alex365Dash]

We take the 8 minute (0.4 mile) walk to the rail station to board the 16:43 Great Western Railway service to Reading, arriving for 17:38 on Friday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Leaving the railway station, we take the two minute walk to stop EO on Blagrave Street and there board the 1754 Reading Buses Lion service X4 to Bracknell (Bus Station) that arrives there at 1903 on Friday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

[Alex365Dash]

No evening bus service here, so we await the 21:20 Great Western Railway service to Redhill, arriving at 21:42 on Friday night.
