Last night's (dep Penzance on 16th Dec, for avoidance of doubt) up train left nearly 3 hrs late, skipped all the Cornish stops, and is now forming 1B10 on arrival at Paddington, rather than going empty as 5A40 to Old Oak. This suggests an HST▸ set has substituted.

It was indeed substituted.
Fitters unable to fix an unspecified fault on the sleeper set.

57603 lack of power. HST▸ subbed.
Will probably result in some ECS▸ over the weekend as both sets will be at Penzance, and with the depot works there isn't room for one set let alone two, with the single set normally using the siding just outside the station!
I can't see a cancelled HST service this morning neither as we are now a HST short at Penzance .
As for 1B10 I'm not sure that's right, the sleeper HST arrived into platform 8, 1B10 is platform 10. 1B15 is the next movement out of 8.

I was lucky then. Had three uneventful sleeper trips behind 57603 this week.

I was just deducing this from the TrainDescriptions on the Paddington map of Open Train Times. 1A40 in an arrival berth (can't recall which platform - might have been 8, 9 or 10), and 1B10 in the departure berth of the same platform. It could easily have changed later, before departure - I didn't stay watching it. |

Quite a few changes this morning at Paddington following a fatality at Southall.
Also delayed the stock for the steam excursion to the West Somerset getting from Southall to Victoria. Left Victoria nearly an hour late but has a couple of pathing stops so should make a lot of that up.

Long Rock to Old Oak Common via Penzance scheduled for 12 noon for the ECS▸ stock and either 57604/5 as both came down last night for such a purpose. 3 x 57s at Penzance this morning.

I hope Santa isn't relying on the sleeper......then again it's a Cinderella service at the best of times so the whole thing might end up as a pantomime (ooooooh I'm good today!)  |

A post from an engineer on another forum reveals 2016s reliability stats: For those who think our 57s are a pain, my annual post of statistics for the up Cornish Night Riviera is now in the Railways of Cornwall specialist section of the RM Web forum.
Of 307 scheduled services, all ran and only 5 were not 57 hauled and just TWO of those were down to train fault. Derailment, fire and flood were the others ! Not bad going if I may say so Of course he doesn't mention punctuality but still positive results from old locos. |
