Looks like 1C86 1506 Pad to Pnz has hit both of the failed trains on its journey today. Doh!  And 1C87 (the 16:06 Pad to Pnz) is now running ahead of it. Might have been better to wait at Westbury than go round via Bristol, but hindsight is a marvellous thing! Reminds me of when I was on the 16.06 Pad to PZ in August 2013, it failed at Castle Cary and required fitter attention. Most passengers did a pair of units (2 x 150 I think) on the Weymouth back to Westbury for a following Pad service which was being diverted via Bristol. A few of us stayed on the stricken HST▸ , eventually a fitter arrived by road from Bristol fixed the problem and we were in Taunton an hour before everyone else  |

21:45 Penzance to London Paddington due 05:23
This train has been delayed from Penzance and is now 112 minutes late.
This is due to a train fault.
.........a lie-in for some this morning!!!

Currently at Slough (at 05:53) ... should be in Paddington in the next 25 minutes - around half the lateness recovered. Hope they don't lie in too long or they'll b back out at Old Oak! |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Oh dear! Did do you have to wait for an incoming HST▸ to arrive to form the replacement or did they use one off Longrock? Longrock should have three HSTs on a Sunday prior to the sleepers departure time, with a further two arriving later. Km |

Let's hope when they announce the franchise extension in the next few days it includes what they intend to do about motive power for the sleeper service as this is becoming ridiculous.

Sleepless night for many no doubt
0509 PLY» -PAD» starting from Exeter this morning so I'm guessing that was the HST▸ set that got pinched........I can't imagine it being a pleasant journey this morning for those expected to cram onto the 0530 at Plymouth......what a start to the week.

I'm not sure that the 05:09 would be terribly busy before Exeter? It's the service that goes via Bristol and the 05:30 gets to Reading and London first, so the loss i doing to most effect those from south of Exeter travelling to stations between Bridgewater and Swindon / Didcot, and connecting on northwards. |

Km We had to wait for a hst from long rock wich needed servicing and most importantly fuel! |
