Railway timetable changes from September
Proposed timetable changes for the Cotswold Line from September - the first post-redoubling timetable - have been posted on the ever-helpful First Great Western Coffeeshop website.
Significant changes include:
- Speeding up most services, including the 6am service from Charlbury to Paddington, and the 5.20pm/5.50pm services from Paddington to Charlbury.
- Extra services at lunchtime/mid-afternoon to fix the two-hour gaps in service at present.
- Charlbury and Hanborough calls restored in morning peak service to Worcester.
- Adjustments to mid-morning services to Oxford/Paddington (now departing approx. 9.45am and 10.15am).
The document says that the typical speed-up between London and Worcester will be between 3 and 10 minutes - but in some cases up to 20 minutes faster.
