15:22 London Paddington to Great Malvern due 17:58
Facilities on the 15:22 London Paddington to Great Malvern due 17:58.
This is due to more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time.
Will be formed of 2 coaches instead of 3.

I think I must have misread or misunderstood something.   I thought the IETs (Intercity Express Train) had taken over all workings to Worcester and beyond from the Oxford direction - but 3 or 2 carriages suggests a turbo. Can someone clarify lease?

Planned bank holiday amendments, well planned in that they were booked to be a Turbo today, but not a 2-car one.  Not sure why.

Running extra trains up from the West Country probably. Bank holidays are more like Sunday demand wise from Cornwall
