Title: Short train (Feb 14)

Presumably operating the last section of the journey means that this wasn't a cancellation...

It certainly moved from "Train Cancellation" to "Other Train Service Updates" on Journeycheck  ;)

Reminds me of the Brighton to Worcester service that only ran to Hove.   

Looks like problems this a.m. getting trains out of OOC - in depot issue?

Does that count as a cancellation against FGW?

No it doesn't - part cancellation only.

Actually it counts as full cancellation as less than 50% of the mileage was completed.
This would have been for the convenience of the passengers at Gloucester heading for Cheltenham and in order to protect the return working.
