UK Rail network timetable change (December 2019)

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 774 Part of The Mix Family
Hey all 

As we know, the railway network changes it timetable every year by adding more services and stuff like that, 

So I'm willing to express the benefits coming across the UK with this timetable change, 

Some places may experience no change at all whereas some places are getting a complete timetable redo (oxford to London Paddington is having a complete redo)

I'm also willing to offer myself forward to help people with their queries and any complaints you may have and I will try to help you with my knowledge. 

So to start off with for this timetable change, if you let me know below or private message me,
 - Your train operating company (TOC) 
 - Your nearest station (can be a main station near you if you prefer to keep your local station a private)
 - the route or destination you travel too (not essential) 

Even if you wanted just a overview of what's changing with that certain train operator I happy explain what's changing with that train operator. 

The timetables haven't been published yet but currently we do have a idea of what improvement and changes are happening, 

Alternatively you could contact the train operators company directly on their websites and they can help you.
