Title: Unusual working?
Post by: John R on April 02, 2013, 18:01:28
I've heard of multiple working, but I'd be somewhat surprised if FGW are running HST's in multiple with other stock.

Hmm. My best guess would be that a set-swap occurred at Temple Meads to get the HST back onto an up train with minimum delays and that somehow got mangled into an attachment on live departure boards.

Yes ... my guess too.  There have been some odd workings this weekend ... a class 150 from Didcot to Swindon (from where it formed the 18:22 to Cheltenham)

This was the message from JourneyCheck
Quote
This train has been delayed at Didcot Parkway by 25 minutes, has been further delayed at Swindon and is now 26 minutes late.

This train will be terminated at Bristol Temple Meads and restarted from Bristol Temple Meads.

This is due to congestion caused by earlier delays.
