Also Journeycheck reports a number of short formed services, 4 carriages instead of 8 due to more than usual trains needing repairs at the same time - really !!!! all these lovely brand new trains needing repairs so soooooooon,
More likely teething troubles ... having been stored in sidings awaiting entry to service, the engines won't start because the batteries have gone flat  ( Yes, I know they're electric) In seriousness - it would be nothing short of a miracle if it was 100% from the first day of full service. |

Why?....I would have thought those asleep were woken by the increased speed and rocking...

I think FT,N was being amusingly pedantic, Chris,
Anyway there would have been no increased speed or rocking, the sleeper is timed with a huge amount of padding, can the same be said for the beds?

If you get a refurbished cabin - yes.

Little choice - Network Rail closing the line at Dawlish during the evening until midday tomorrow: http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=19411.msg232545#msg232545Ironically, using snowploughs etc to keep the rest of the main line open as far as possible. Shows the delicacy of Dawlish again! |

Yeah that's understandable and the Scottish ones are also non running for the second night. A mate has pointed out that the BBC» don't mention the Caledonian Sleepers anymore on the digital text on the TV and don't therefore say they're cancelled.

Developed problems after Plymouth. Finally declared a failure about 04:40. Not sure what happened to the passengers. Could well have been sent up on the first train of the day from Plymouth.
