Train Routes

[minesapint]

I need an idea of the route that a particular train will take between Leicester and South Wales.

The National Rail enquiries website and other ones that come up when I Google "Train Route" or similar only show that the train departs from Leicester, a change occurs at Birmingham New Street and Newport, South Wales before arriving at the destination in West Wales.

I need to know which stations the train passes through say between Birmingham New Street and Newport. I can't find this info anywhere online.

On the old style pocket timetables, the stations the train passed through was shown because you could join or depart at selected stations en-route. It's something like that I'm looking for online.

I'd be very grateful for any help you can provide.

Thanks.

Leicester, Hinckley, Nuneaton, Birmingham.
Birmingham, (possibly Bromsgrove or Ashchurch), Cheltenham, Gloucester, Newport.
Newport, Cardiff, Bridgend, Port Talbot, Neath, Swansea.

Have a closer look at the national rail enquiries web site. There's a helpful link that says Train Companies & Maps

Unfortunately you need 3 - the first general one for tha stations out in the country and the Birmingham and Cardiff/Bristol ones for the local stations at each end.

Thank you all very much indeed.

I wanted to check the route as I know someone who's traveling between Leicester and South Wales on Wednesday and I want to know if the flooding in the Tewksbury/Gloucester area might affect them. It now seems it might well do.

Thank you all again.

at present the line is blocked between Gloucester & Lydney, however it is possible to reach south Wales from Birmingham by travelling via Bristol Parkway.
