ESE wind of 13mph, and high spring tide.
Just watched the webcam, and a wave went over the passing HST (High Speed Train).

Yesterday evening several XC (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) services were very late having been slowed down between Birmingham and Cheltenham.  The 17:17 from Taunton to Penzance was over an hour down and following services late to the point that by 18:15 there was a series of trains indicated as all coming through together for the West within a few minutes of each other and due at the same platform as the terminating (and reversing) Cardiff service.  Less than gruntled pax trekked in the heat from Platform 2 to to 3 and I overheard some pretty angry phone calls about 'typical trains'.  I wondered whether one of the two trains for Penzance shown as being about 5 minutes apart the last time I looked would be terminated early and which one it might be.  Perhaps today's events were the same as the timings look as though they might be the same trains.
