    I've ordered my WTT but was wondering if someone could tell me whats on the front of the 9.35am ex kidderminster on the Friday morning? Only asking as i'm trying to work out what time to arrive at the SVR on the Friday.

    Many thanks

    I might drive down on friday night and park at Bridgenorth, what is the parking charge and which timetable is operating, the colour codes on the site appear a little confusing

    Just out of interest, the Met Office five day weather outlook ( "Bridgnorth" as the chosen location) is showing some dodgy weather mid-week, but Friday currently shown as nine degrees and sunny.

    Fingers crossed.
