I'm heading west tomorrow lunchtime and back on Sunday night. I'll be on the last service up so should run or an alternative be offered. The alternative would be to come back Monday along with all the surfers.
On balance I think Sunday is the better option!
Good luck with that. Your nightmare scenario of course is the (now) usual collapse of the service on Sunday & GWR▸ encouraging everyone to travel on Monday instead.....with all the surfers too that would be cosy! |

As for today's 12:03, it was originally diagrammed to be seven coaches with a kitchen suitable for a Pullman but was swapped to an eight coach train with a smaller kitchen. Sensible decision in the circumstances.

Are you not getting the wetsuit out and taking your board to hang ten and shoot some tubes then, dude? |

Might be a better option than what I am doing. Stuffing 1,000 envelopes with various items, sticking stamps on and then filling every postbox within a one mile radius.

Would you rather key in 1000 e-mail addresses, identify a few attachments to each address and press the send key, it would be cheaper no envelopes to pay for and stamps to purchase. |

Without going too far off topic - yes I'd love to but it isn't practical in this case.

It would quite a sight seeing BobM on his surfboard cresting the Atlantic Rollers.  |

One of the HSTs▸ arriving at Newquay today then runs back empty to Paddington The above referred to yesterday (8/8), but there is also an ECS▸ (5C92) running Newquay back to Paddington today, leaving at around 1230. It's shown as non-stop between Plymouth and Reading in 2hrs 38 mins! |

Mission accomplished  And I think I made the right decision to come home Sunday night.  |
