Title: 04:50 Hereford to Paddington 6 July Post by: charles_uk on July 06, 2017, 09:37:07 After last night's problems at Paddington, Cotwold Line passengers had this experience this morning:
"04:50 Hereford to London Paddington due 07:56 has been delayed previously and is now 124 minutes late from Charlbury. This is due to a broken down train." The 07:10 Moreton-in-Marsh service had already been cancelled due to over-running engineering works. With the 04:50 blocking the line at Charlbury, the following 05:28 Hereford-Paddington and 06:53 Worcester Foregate Street-Didcot Parkway were also significantly delayed and the 06:42 Hereford-Paddington diverted via Swindon. As usual, the level of communication from GWR was non-existent - the info board giving out spurious expected time - leaving passengers to rely on social media and friends stuck on the train at Charlbury to find out what was or wasn't happening. The 04:50 HFD:PAD finally left Charlbury 124 minutes late.
