21:45 Penzance to London Paddington due 05:23 This train will be starting late from Penzance and is expected to be 45 minutes late. This is due to earlier signalling problems. Should still be on time by Paddington?

Knock on effect of signalling problems delaying the crew into Penzance rather than a problem with the train this time.

Arrived Paddington at 0459, 24 early. Late at all intermediate stops, but caught up some time between Reading and Paddington.

Bit of a change for the Down sleeper last night. Rather than being rescued it was called in to help out after the 23:30 London Paddington to Cardiff service (via Bristol Temple Meads) failed at Slough.
The sleeper called additionally at Slough, Didcot Parkway, Swindon, Chippenham, Bath Spa and Bristol Temple Meads, where coaches were provided onwards toward Cardiff.
It then suffered an air problem in Devon but was only 13 late into Penzance.

That'll probably be the Radon gas ...

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

It was on the down last night. One of my Flickr contacts pictured it at Plymouth this morning.

Well we'll not often a class 57 comes to the rescue normally needs rescuing itself. but a class 66 on freight failed between par and lostwithiel this afternoon so the 57 from tonight's up sleeper has gone to help! Hmm I wonder will the up sleeper be on time tonight?

I think the plan is for the FGW▸ 57 to push or pull the freight into Par and clear of the mainline.
A 66 is on its way from Westbury to take the train forward.
I wonder if they are both 1Z99.

686N 1629 Goonbarrow Jn to Fowey Dock Carne Point took 1 hour 39 from Par to Lostwithiel and terminated at Lostwithiel. Is that the failed freight service? No other services in RTT» . 1A35 is 50 late. 1C86 lost 80 minutes around Westbury. Guessing that needed rescuing as well?
Edit*** 1C86 went from Westbury to Bristol Temple Meads then down to Taunton causing the delay.

Looks like 1C86 1506 Pad to Pnz has hit both of the failed trains on its journey today. Doh! http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/C20330/2015/01/26/advanced

Yes a second freight failed on the main line between the junctions for Westbury and Frome.

Not only hindsight. You can't keep a train at Westbury indefinitely - there are only three platforms and it might then lead to cancellations because of "congestion caused by earlier delays"
