08:21 London Paddington to Hereford due 11:40 will be terminated at Worcester Shrub Hill.
This is due to a shortage of train guards.

Note the time of the posting of this.

And also note that "GWR (Great Western Railway)" don't regard it as a cancellation, merely a "train service update".  But it is a cancellation, surely, for anyone intending to travel on it from Worcester to Hereford.  This playing with words to make a situation look less bad than it really is does "GWR" no credit.

And with the 15:52 Paddington to Moreton-in-Marsh being terminated at Oxford, a very long wait for those wanting to get home to the Cotswolds this evening.

Alas, the 09:54 was cancelled between Moreton and Paddington due to a problem with the train.

I believe that the 0652 Paddington to Great Malvern has now been cancelled 3 days in a row. (Friday, Monday and Tuesday). Sad Sad

I assume the only driver who can drive this train must on holiday or off sick; does anyone know when he/she will be back to work and the train will run? Cheesy

According to RTT» (Real Time Trains - website), the 0511 from Worcester SH was 72 minutes late into PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains). It looks like it was stuck between Twyford and Maidenhead for about 50 minutes, presumably due to the signalling issue which was mentioned on GWR (Great Western Railway) JourneyCheck.
