Title: Train from Padd to Bristol TM cancelled due to overcrowding Post by: hoover50 on August 14, 2022, 13:05:41 It seems the 11:30 London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads today (Sun 14/8/2022) was cancelled "due to overcrowding"
1) Surely this would mean subsequent services would be even more crowded? 2) I wonder whether it was a 5-carriage, 9-carriage or 10-carriage train? Title: Re: Train from Padd to Bristol TM cancelled due to overcrowding Post by: bobm on August 14, 2022, 14:26:24 I think the set was used to form an additional service at 11:30 to Exeter St Davids which only called at Reading, Bristol Temple Meads, Taunton and Tiverton Parkway. Looks like it was 9 coaches.
Then the 12:03 to Penzance ran non-stop from London Paddington and Taunton. Title: Re: Train from Padd to Bristol TM cancelled due to overcrowding Post by: bradshaw on August 14, 2022, 14:55:24 It seems from RTT that 1C77 the 1003 PAD -PNZ did the same

I can’t remember running non-stop between these two stations before.

Quote 10:18 Penzance to London Paddington due 15:38 was 11 minutes late but is now being further delayed at Castle Cary. This is due to overcrowding. Left Castle Cary 83 minutes late. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:W14932/2022-08-14/detailed#allox_id=0 Probably trying to persuade passengers to disembark and wait for the following additional train: Quote An additional train service has been planned to operate as shown 15:34 Exeter St Davids to London Paddington due 17:54.
