Journey by Journey / TransWilts line / Re: 2024 - Service update and amendment log, Swindon <-> Westbury

Additional TransWilts travel opportunity this morning... 07:52 London Paddington to Plymouth due 11:24 will be diverted between Reading and Westbury.
It will no longer call at Newbury and Pewsey but will call additionally at Swindon.
It has been previously delayed, is being further delayed between Reading and Westbury and is now expected to be 26 minutes late.
This is due to a points failure.
The 08:52 Paddington to Plymouth is also shown as diverting between Reading and Westbury but, as that one’s not booked to call at Pewsey, it appears it’ll be running through Swindon non-stop. |

Seems appropriate to mention this here as it involves the TransWilts line... 20:24 Portsmouth Harbour to Cardiff Central due 23:58 will be diverted between Westbury and Bath Spa.
It will no longer call at Bradford-On-Avon but will call additionally at Chippenham, Oldfield Park and Keynsham.
It will be delayed due to the diversion and is expected to be 15 minutes late.
This is due to a tree blocking the railway.
Cancellations to services between Westbury and Bath Spa
Due to a tree blocking the railway between Westbury and Bath Spa the line is blocked.
Train services running through these stations may be cancelled or delayed by up to 60 minutes. Disruption is expected until 23:45 08/02.
Appears to be a XC▸ ECS▸ stopped between Bradford on Avon and Avoncliff. |

Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Re: 2024 Delays and Cancellations - North Cotswold Line

An unusual one last night (Wednesday February 7).
1P42, 19:05 from Great Malvern, sat at Pershore for 12 minutes. It was cancelled after arriving at Evesham 13 late - "due to a problem with the train" according to RTT» .
The next one, 1P44 19:45 Great Malvern to London Paddington, was held at Shrub Hill (was there a concern about 1P42 blocking the line?). It eventually left 31 late but recovered to arrive Paddington only 6 late. It's scheduled to take 2:20 from Shrub Hill, but actually took 1:56 (without omitting any stops).
I wonder what happened to the train after being terminated? It could have turned-back to Worcester, or carried on towards Oxford or beyond, but RTT doesn't tell us. There's nowhere at Evesham for a failed train to be put out of the way. Presumably ran ECS▸ back to Worcester Shrub Hill, and from there at 23:26 as 5Z74 to Stoke Gifford depot according to RTT. |

14:19 Westbury to Swindon due 15:01
14:19 Westbury to Swindon due 15:01 is being delayed at Westbury.
This is due to congestion. 13:15 Swindon to Westbury also diverted via Bathampton Junction (therefore not calling Melksham) and arrived at Westbury 42 minutes late. The 14:19 Westbury to Swindon left at 14:42, so a creditably quick turnaround. It should be possible for the TransWilts to be back on time again for the 16:23 from Westbury…. |

The Melksham branch struggling to cope with the diverted IET▸ ’s & freight, along with the timetabled traffic. Congestion either side of the branch now;
Indeed. It’s not really coping at all. 12:17 Westbury to Swindon has run via Bradford on Avon. An Up IET waiting at Bradford Junction. Meanwhile a Down IET and Down Stone train waiting at Thingley Junction, and just for good measure, a Cross-Country for Edinburgh waiting at Trowbridge. |

But this IS - service gap from 07:47 to 12:17 in services from Westbury to Swindon.
You assume the 12:17 runs, and you may be correct... 10:30 Cardiff Central to Portsmouth Harbour due 13:52
Facilities on the 10:30 Cardiff Central to Portsmouth Harbour due 13:52.
This is due to more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time.
Will be formed of 3 coaches instead of 5 from Westbury.

Due Station Status
10:30 Cardiff Central 10:30
10:44 Newport South Wales 10:44
11:09 Filton Abbey Wood 11:09

11:57 Trowbridge 11:57
12:05 Westbury 12:05 Good job the Portsmouth train was five carriages when it left Cardiff - easier to spare two in that scenario, but it would not be so clever taking half the train (two cars off a four car set) to cover for a train fault elsewhere. |

If the London Underground counts, then there are loads of answers. Paddington to Baker Street, Paddington to Liverpool Street, Paddington to Embankment.
I'm going to differ - I don't think those fit the three way specification for example ... Paddington to Embankment - Bakerloo line (next stop Edgware Road) or Circle line (next stop Bayswater). The circle le in the other direction now terminates at Edgware Road - so no third route, even if you had sorted out issues about Edgware Road being two separate stations (so Bakerloo and Circle counted as two routes), whereas Paddington is just one station. Although if you caught your Circle Line train from platform 16 at Paddington it would be direct to Embankment.....(although the next station would still be Edgware Road, the same as the Bakerloo Line, so it could fail on that criteria). |
