A poster on rail forums who's a TM‡(resolve) for fgw has said there was approximately 80 for reading ended up in Swindon. This is almost a full carriage on a HST▸ (High Speed Train) that the further traveller has been deprived of and potentially turned away.

I do not work for FGW▸ (First Great Western) and posts should not be assumed and do not imply they are statements, unless explicitly stated that they are, from any TOC▸ (Train Operating Company) including First Great Western.
