The 17:06 Paddington-Westbury was worked by a 180 last night, and also tonight the 17:30 Paddington-Taunton via Bristol TM^‡(resolve) (which was very wedged - the announcer at PAD^» (Paddington (London) - next trains) tonight was asking Reading passengers to take the 17:33 Paignton HST^▸ (High Speed Train) service)

When I got to Twyford this morning at 07:10 the 06:52 to Henley (which on its return forms the 07:23 departure from Twyford to Paddington) was only just leaving! However the 07:04 trundled in at 07:16 and I caught that, arriving at Paddington some 15 minutes late at 07:59. The 07:23 was shown as running 12 minutes late on the arrival board at Paddington.

I got that train this morning, it pulled into Twyford at 07:10 (due 06:55) just as I arrived at the station. It was a very empty refurbished HST^▸ (High Speed Train)! As we arrived at platform 4 at Maidenhead at 07:20 what I presume to be the 07:19 was just leaving from platform 2 and we were held there for 4 minutes until we could get onto the fast line. Arrival at Paddington was at 07:45 (18 late). The train I'd planned to get from Twyford, the 07:23, was shown as running 7 minutes late on the arrivals board at Paddington.

This is my first post here, I've been lurking for a few months, greetings to all fellow regular Thames Valley FGW^▸ (First Great Western) passengers!
