Post by: Bob_Blakey on April 18, 2011, 22:11:39 Would anyone care to provide a translation of the following extract from FGW Disruptions:
19:48 London Paddington to Cheltenham Spa due 22:03 This train has been revised.It will no longer call at: London Paddington, Maidenhead, Reading, Didcot Parkway, Swindon, Kemble, Stroud, Stonehouse, Gloucester and Cheltenham Spa.This is due to not calling at Maidenhead.. Last Updated: 18/04/2011 20:58 Surely 'this train has been cancelled' would have been much easier! Or am I missing something?

If that was true they would still be on the train :PI meant the passengers planning to join the train at Maidenhead :D Presumably those getting on at Paddington for Maidenhead got off at Reading to come back. I hope they weren't charged an excess fare! This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
