2  Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Re: 2024 Delays and Cancellations - North Cotswold Line on: April 17, 2024, 08:50:29
Yesterday, Tuesday April 16, had been a good day for the Cotswold line. The attached screenshot is RTT» (Real Time Trains - website)'s list of times at Evesham. There's only three red departure times, the worst of them being eight minutes late.

But today has not got off to a good start:
Quote
06:43 Worcester Shrub Hill to London Paddington due 08:43 has been delayed between Worcester Shrub Hill and Worcestershire Parkway Hl and is now 63 minutes late.
This is due to a points failure.
Last Updated:17/04/2024 08:20
RTT suggests that the delay was actually incurred in getting the train out of the sidings.
The halts train, the 07:00 from Shrub Hill to Didcot, was able to depart on time.
The 06:43 is now behind the 07:13 Great Malvern - Paddington (also able to depart on time).
The points failure also affected the 07:25 Shrub Hill - Paddington via Stroud, which left Shrub Hill 52 late and will not be calling at Gloucester today.

Tomorrow, I'm travelling from London towards Munich, starting on the Eurostar. I had been intending to catch this 06:43 out of Shrub Hill - but last week I decided it was just too chancy and that we should stay tonight in London. Looks like that was a sound decision.

Quote from: Richard Fairhurst on April 14, 2024, 22:57:15
Yes, I was impressed to see a nine-carriage IET▸ (Intercity Express Train) at Worcester Foregate Street the other day...

...on a Bristol Temple Meads service which until recently would have been two or three carriages. Meanwhile our Cotswolds service had five which would have been rather cosy after Oxford.

Not as good as this Paddington-Hereford, though, which RTT» (Real Time Trains - website) swears has 18 carriages.
Even more impressive, the subsequent ECS▸ (Empty Coaching Stock) move from one side of Hereford to the other involved 36 carriages.
