Quote 17:36 London Paddington to Swindon due 18:35 Facilities on the 17:36 London Paddington to Swindon due 18:35. Will be formed of 10 coaches. Additional Information Please note that Monday to Thursday this week this train is formed of a 10 coach Intercity Express Train and terminates at Swindon. Any customers for Kemble, Stroud, Stonehouse, Gloucester or Cheltenham Spa should note there is a connecting train departing Swindon between 5 and 10 minutes after the arrival of the service from London Paddington which is expected to be formed of a 2 coach train. We apologise for the inconvenience this alteration to the train service this week will cause. I guess 10 into 2 might go ...likely to be very cosy! It's been suggested that this week may be a hard one to resource ... Title: Re: The Cheltenham Spa Sprinter Post by: bobm on February 26, 2018, 16:13:14 It is ten into zero now...

One wonders if it relates to a story in Gloucestershire Live[/quote] (https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/cheltenham-news/im-sorry-havent-anyone-open-1262845) Quote Cheltenham Spa station staff told commuters they didn't have anyone to open the doors of a train stuck at the platform this morning. The 6.30am train from Cheltenham to London Paddington - via Gloucester and other stops - was stationary at Platform One for 13 minutes, as dozens of confused would-be passengers waited. Title: Re: The Cheltenham Spa Sprinter Post by: Timmer on February 26, 2018, 17:18:34 Great so the connecting train gets cancelled. So bad enough you have to get off your Intercity train onto a DMU now that’s not even running either ::) The railways never cease to amaze.
