It's only 01.08 today - you're a week ahead of yourself?

I rather think grahame was asking for contributions ready to start a new topic on 8 August.  I started a new topic on the Wantage Tramway today, so grahame could add it to 'OTD', but that was done somewhat at the last minute.

However, as I type, the 2C97, 22:47 Cardiff-Bristol, has halted between Pengam and Wentloog and is signalled to go back towards Cardiff.

Onto Eurostar, you need to purchase a ticket to London Terminals CV, I think only from ticket offices or on-train if no ticket office available.

A CIV ticket is a ticket sold under the CIV conditions (Convention Internationale pour le transport des Voyageurs) for cross border rail travel. In the case of London, this means that, in the outward direction, if the UK train arrives into London late, Eurostar must honour the ticket and place the passenger on the next available Eurostar train. In the homeward direction, should the Eurostar arrive into London late and the connection onto the booked onward UK train is missed, the UK operator must accept the ticket on their next service. CIV tickets also include the underground connection to St Pancras where needed. They are normally slightly more expensive than the advance fare to / from London at the time of booking, but significantly cheaper than an open ticket.

Neither will this
12:03 London Paddington to Penzance due 17:08
12:03 London Paddington to Penzance due 17:08 will be starting late from London Paddington.
This is due to train crew being delayed by service disruption.
Will be formed of 5 coaches instead of 10.

Network AwayDay was the ticket name....

A unique heritage weekend is coming your way!
For the first time in more than 60 years, the public will have the chance to experience Cannington Viaduct, the last surviving major structure of the magical Axminster to Lyme Regis Railway, which served our communities from 1903 until its closure in 1965.
Revisit the Viaduct will take place on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September, bringing together local history and the glorious countryside on the Devon / Dorset border in a very special celebration.
The weekend will include:
• Guided, stewarded walks from Uplyme to the viaduct.
• The opportunity to stand on the viaduct deck for the first time since the railway closed.
• For those who prefer not to make the walk, a heritage hub at Uplyme Village Hall with displays, refreshments and the premiere of a new short film telling the story of the viaduct and the branch line.
Admission will be FREE, but because numbers on the viaduct must be carefully managed, advance booking will be essential.

Our online box office opens on 1 August, when full details and tickets will become available.
This exciting community project has been made possible by a team that includes For the Love of a Railway, National Highways Historical Railways Estate, Axminster Town Council, Uplyme Parish Council, Devon County Council and South Western Railway. Its success very much depends upon volunteers and on access kindly given by Shapwick Grange Farm.

Please save the dates – and help us spread the word by sharing this post with friends, family and anyone who remembers, loves or simply wants to discover the wonderful Axminster to Lyme Regis Railway.
