Carmarthen’s not expected to run for most/all of the day.
Liskard-Looe cancelled throughout on JourneyCheck.
Tree on the line earlier so a Penzance service is running 110 minutes behind schedule and is also carrying CrossCountry passengers. It’s fine in my neck of the woods but I’m surprised the leaves on the track excuse has not been used yet.

Clearly aimed at causing maximum disruption during the Autumn internationals at Twickenham. I suspect SWR» were expecting it so have plenty of times to make contingency arrangements. The RMT▸ continuing the tactic of striking to disrupt the leisure market picking half term week for their 5 dayer.
I'd be genuinely interested in the contingency arrangements that are capable of shifting (the bulk of) 82,000 people to & from Twickenham. "This train is formed of 1242 coaches" Passengers for Twickenham should request to the conductor on the train to alight here. |

Day 6 saw me heading south on the Chieftain, enjoying a nice cooked breakfast. I alighted at Newcastle to use the TPE▸ service heading to Manchester Airport and using the new curve at Manchester. I alighted at Piccadilly, heading south to Euston. Departure from Paddington was on the 1857 Plymouth service formed of 2 x 5 car IETs▸ . I was told that this was the first trial of a Pullman service to the WoE using these trains. I just made my connection at Westbury (described elsewhere!) Other than at the very end an uneventful day, although it was a new experience to travel through Melksham on an IET. Just 1 day to go.
I thought Melksham International was considered for HS3  |

With the lack of details about new rail schedules, for December, is it known when the extra trains from Bristol Temple Meads to London Paddington , via Bristol Parkway, will run? It is great,  , to have all this investment at Bristol Parkway, Filton Abbeywood and Filton Bank, but the lack of coordination and clarity of delivery leaves me, and others, unsure when things will actually get better and justify all this hassle. All those five car IETs▸ sat doing nothing waiting to work the Parkway Bristol’s... any long forms expected |

05:17 Gloucester to Southampton Central due 08:09
Facilities on the 05:17 Gloucester to Southampton Central due 08:09.
This is due to a fault on this train.
Will be formed of 2 coaches instead of 3.
Last Updated:04/10/2018 06:37 No problem ... until Warminster after which it will be getting a bit cosey! Was busy down my end as well, we need these five car 800s urgently! |
