    An agreement has been reached between the SVR and Highley Parish council over the future of Route 45 cycleway between the Country Park and Hampton. Both Sustrans and Shropshire Council had pulled out of the agreement due to financial problems.

    Does anyone happen to have and be in a position to share a version of SVR timetable D which includes arrival times as well as departures? I'm really struggling to ascertain section times etc when trying to type out the timetable 'fully'. For example I feel like I read somewhere that the 1055 from KR actually leaves at 1100?

    I doubt you’ll find many willing to share the operations document with the WTT. Not really for public viewing.

    Fairly straight forward though KDR-BY is 12 mins, BY-AY is 13, AY-HY 8, HY-HL 10, HL-BH 15

    Correct, and the public times for Highley are in fact the arrival time, not departure time.

    @2857Harry Thank you that will be very helpful and make my life much easier
    @Kje7812 Thank you also - that solves many more issues I've been struggling with

    Hopefully now, I should be in a position to pretty much construct the full timetable. I appreciate people are unlikely to want to publish the WTT - it's a shame it's no longer on the website, but understandable though.

    I wonder if their financial problems are local to this particular situation, or more general? If the latter, that could have implications for several heritage lines, where Sustrans is in charge of sections of their track-bed.

    PS: The OP was depending on the story in the Kidderminster media; maybe that reporter got some details wromg.

    I've heard elsewhere that Sustrans isn't flushed with cash.
