07:10 Moreton-in-Marsh to London Paddington due 08:51 will be cancelled.
This is due to a shortage of train crew.

Not on JourneyCheck as at 16:00 but National Rail Enquiries has the 16:22 Paddington to Great Malvern showing as cancelled. @GWRHelp on Twitter says it's "not running because of a fault on board".

So that's another faulty IET (Intercity Express Train) cancellation on the Cotswold Line today.

A nice big hole in this morning's peak service:

Quote
05:28 Hereford to London Paddington due 08:28 will be diverted between Worcester Shrub Hill and Reading.
It will no longer call at Pershore, Evesham, Honeybourne, Moreton-in-Marsh, Charlbury, Hanborough and Oxford.
It is being delayed at Hereford.
This is due to a fault on this train.

Quote
07:10 Moreton-in-Marsh to London Paddington due 08:51 will be reinstated.
It will be started from Oxford.
It will no longer call at Moreton-in-Marsh, Kingham, Charlbury and Hanborough.
This is due to a fault on this train.

It'll be cosy on the following two coach Turbo which "will be started from Worcester Shrub Hill. It will no longer call at Worcester Foregate Street."
349  Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Re: Cotswold Line - 2018 cancellation and amendments log on: August 14, 2018, 13:22:33
Big problems at Worcester:

Delays to services between Worcester Shrub Hill and Oxford

Due to a fault with the signalling system at Worcester Shrub Hill all lines are blocked. Disruption is expected until 13:30 14/08.

Train services between Worcester Shrub Hill and Oxford may be delayed.

I suspect knock-on disruption will run long into the afternoon which is now expected until "until 14:30".

and return 18:29 GMV:PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains) similarly affected.

Hopefully GWR (Great Western Railway) will managed to get the 15:50 Paddington to Moreton-in-Marsh beyond Oxford today...

[later]

I get to Oxford station just after 16:30 and there's an HST (High Speed Train) on platform 3. Presumably the 15:22 having decanted its passengers. No, it's the 15:22 ready to go through to Great Malvern after all. Fortunately, slightly late so I'm able to catch it.

351  Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Re: Cotswold Line - 2018 cancellation and amendments log on: August 09, 2018, 21:27:34
The pattern that I'm seeing over the past month or so is of fewere cancellations, but a lot of late running, especially with down trains in the evening peak.

I'd like to propose the 17:22 Paddington - Hereford as being the least reliable train on the whole of GWR (Great Western Railway):

Mon Jun 25 : 40 late
Tue Jun 26 : 51 late
Wed Jun 27 : 27 late
Thu Jun 28 : 23 late
Fri Jun 29 : 23 late
Mon Jul 2 : 12 late
Tue Jul 3 : 68 late
Wed Jul 4 : 25 late
Thu Jul 5 : Operated non-stop between Oxford and Evesham - but still 19 late
Fri Jul 6 : Sorry - I don't have a record for this date
Mon Jul 9 - Fri Jul 20 : did not operate on account of the Oxford blockade
Mon Jul 23 : 71 late
Tue Jul 24 : 23 late
Wed Jul 25 : Cancelled Oxford - Hereford
Thu Jul 26 : 37 late
Fri Jul 27 : 47 late
Mon Jul 30 : 24 late
Tue Jul 31 : diverted via Stroud on account of a bridge bash near Evesham. 41 late
Wed Aug 1 : 20 late
Thu Aug 2 : 32 late
Fri Aug 3 : 39 late
Mon Aug 6 : 25 late
And for Tue Aug 7 : drumroll please,,,, just 12 late

8 Aug - 39 late
9 Aug - 37 late

Today's service (Sat 4 August) has been filleted somewhat:

From Realtime Trains the 07:22 Paddington to Great Malvern

This service was cancelled throughout due to an issue with the train crew (TG).

Not sure about the impact though there seems to be a lot running late through Reading at present, but, for the record:

Quote
Cancellations to services between Didcot Parkway and Reading

Following a fire on a train between Didcot Parkway and Reading some lines have now reopened.

Train services running through these stations may be cancelled or delayed by up to 60 minutes. Disruption is expected until 18:30 02/08.

Customer Advice
London-bound fast line remains blocked, but Didcot-bound lines have reopened.

Delays to services between London Paddington and Reading

Due to a fault with the signalling system at Slough trains have to run at reduced speed on some lines towards Reading. Disruption is expected until 19:30 02/08.

Train services between London Paddington and Reading may be delayed by up to 15 minutes.

Additional Information
Customers travelling to Burnham or Taplow are advised to travel through to Maidenhead and change at Maidenhead for services back to Taplow and Burnham.

Not looking good at Oxford at the moment:

Quote
Due to a fault with the signalling system at Oxford trains have to run at reduced speed on all lines. Disruption is expected until 17:30 02/08.

Train services between Didcot Parkway and Oxford may be cancelled or delayed by up to 30 minutes.

Train services between Worcester Shrub Hill and Oxford may be cancelled or delayed by up to 30 minutes.

Train services between Banbury and Oxford have been suspended. Banbury, Kings Sutton, Heyford and Tackley will not be served.

It's not clear what the issue is but there are some significant delays and cancellations, with CrossCountry northbound services also affected by a broken down train.

(edit) Bit more info from CrossCountry Journeycheck:

Quote
Due to a fault with barriers at a level crossing at Oxford trains have to run at reduced speed on all lines.
355  Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Re: Cotswold Line - 2018 cancellation and amendments log on: August 01, 2018, 17:09:48
And for the 31st time this year, the 15:50 Paddington to Moreton-in-Marsh fails to make it beyond Oxford:

Quote
5:50 London Paddington to Moreton-in-Marsh due 17:26 will be terminated at Oxford.

It will no longer call at Hanborough, Charlbury, Kingham and Moreton-in-Marsh.
This is due to a fault with the signalling system.

Last Updated:01/08/2018 16:42

and, as so often, a very late decision.
356  Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Re: Cotswold Line - 2018 cancellation and amendments log on: August 01, 2018, 08:15:47
A couple so far today:

Quote
06:52 London Paddington to Great Malvern due 09:37 will be terminated at Reading.
It will no longer call at Didcot Parkway, Oxford, Hanborough, Charlbury, Kingham, Moreton-in-Marsh, Honeybourne, Evesham, Pershore, Worcester Shrub Hill, Worcester Foregate Street, Malvern Link and Great Malvern.
This is due to a fault on this train.
Last Updated:01/08/2018 07:53

and the return

Quote
09:54 Great Malvern to London Paddington due 12:28 will be cancelled.
This is due to a fault on this train.

An IET (Intercity Express Train)?
357  Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Re: Cotswold Line - 2018 cancellation and amendments log on: July 31, 2018, 18:42:58
According to GWR (Great Western Railway) Help on Twitter

Quote
This happened at Evesham. A2: We are currently sourcing road replacement transport and local bus ticket acceptance but this is proving to be difficult due to peak evening rush hour on the roads.

The 15:22 Paddington to Great Malvern arrived at MIM 53 late according to Realtime Trains, though JourneyCheck says it

Quote
will be diverted between Oxford and Worcester Shrub Hill and terminated at Worcester Shrub Hill.
It will no longer call at Hanborough, Charlbury, Kingham, Moreton-in-Marsh, Honeybourne, Evesham, Pershore, Worcester Foregate Street, Malvern Link and Great Malvern but will call additionally at Cheltenham Spa.
It is being delayed at Oxford and is now expected to be 120 minutes late.
This is due to a road vehicle colliding with a bridge.

which was clearly not the case as it definitely arrived at Hanborough on time!

The 17:52 PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains):WOS» (Worcester Shrub Hill - next trains) is running as far as MIM.

Cancellations to services between Worcester Shrub Hill and Oxford
Due to a road vehicle colliding with a bridge between Worcester Shrub Hill and Oxford all lines are blocked.
Train services running through these stations may be cancelled or delayed. Disruption is expected until 19:00 31/07.

and amongst the alterations an odd looking one:

Quote
16:22 London Paddington to Great Malvern due 19:24 will be diverted between Oxford and Worcester Shrub Hill and terminated at Worcester Shrub Hill.
It will no longer call at Hanborough, Combe, Finstock, Charlbury, Ascott-under-Wychwood, Shipton, Kingham, Moreton-in-Marsh, Honeybourne, Evesham, Pershore, Worcester Foregate Street, Malvern Link and Great Malvern but will call additionally at Cheltenham Spa.

it's strange for such diversions to actually take in Oxford.

update - seems it's quite serious:

Quote
Cancellations to services between Worcester Shrub Hill and Oxford

Due to a road vehicle colliding with a bridge between Worcester Shrub Hill and Oxford all lines are blocked.
Train services running through these stations have been cancelled or diverted via Cheltenham Spa. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

Customer Advice
Network Rail advise the line is likely to be closed until the end of the day due to the structrual damage sustained to the bridge which poses a danger to the safe running of the railway.

GWR (Great Western Railway) services will be diverted between Reading and Worcester Shrub Hill calling at Cheltenham Spa. Services are likely to terminate or start back at Worcester Shrub Hull (sic).

17:22 London Paddington to Hereford due 20:26 will be terminated at Oxford.
It will no longer call at Hanborough, Charlbury, Kingham, Moreton-in-Marsh, Honeybourne, Evesham, Pershore, Worcester Shrub Hill, Worcester Foregate Street, Malvern Link, Great Malvern, Colwall, Ledbury and Hereford.
This is due to a problem currently under investigation.

And the 17:52 Paddington to Worcester Shrub Hill and 18:22 Paddington to Hereford both appear to have been delayed to soe degree beyond Oxford.
360  Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Re: Cotswold Line - 2018 cancellation and amendments log on: July 23, 2018, 17:14:10
I know freshly laid track and hot temperatures are not a good mix, but there is a certain predictability about this one:

Quote
15:50 London Paddington to Moreton-in-Marsh due 17:26 was terminated at Oxford.
It will no longer call at Hanborough, Charlbury, Kingham and Moreton-in-Marsh.
This is due to a speed restriction because of high track temperatures.
