    A good soaking on Wednesday and clear skies for the weekend would be even better...

    Working just north of Swindon today, heavy rain early hours of the morning and then heavy showers and a brief thunderstorm this afternoon- hopefully there will have been more of the same in Gloucestershire/Warwickshire to reduce the chances of lineside fires.

    I hate to ask stupid questions but this weekend will be my first visit since 2019 and my first multi-day visit. As I'm walking from accomodation to the railway on Sunday morning I just want to clarify if the blue route from Google Maps is accurate and is available to walk on. Especially also after the 20:10 departure on Saturday Cheers.

    Yes that should be fine.

    For those asking about updated timetables with the pannier, they should be online tomorrow, would have been this evening but for technical issues. I've also been putting a few letters on the austerity today in between tests, no time for lining though I'm afraid!
