To add to that can confirm that an additional 2 coaches in the shape of 150123 were added at Bristol! Bet they loved the added comfort of the 2+3 seating  Grin

... but on the other side of the coin.....

16:30 London Paddington to Taunton due 19:28



Will be formed of 8 coaches.
This is due to earlier signalling problems.

It's showing on the on line departure boards as cancelled as far as Bristol, so there is an inconsistency with the FGW▸ (First Great Western) information, let alone how many coaches it has!

It's been 8 coaches for a week or so now, typically a 2+6, which has been very useful between Swindon and Bristol. So not sure why it merits a mention.
