Aluminium is very vulnerable to corrosion especially if in contact with steel.
Did someone use steel fixings at the factory?, or subsequently during maintenance, either is a rather basic error.
Even different grades of aluminium alloy are liable to corrosion if used in contact with each other.
Electrical leakage currents through aluminium structures can also accelerate corrosion. DC▸ is worst.

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

Whatever happens it’s down to Hitachi to sort out as part of the maintenance contract.
Just like they are quietly doing with the cracks issue that people were getting excited about.

We need something more robust, successful and enduring - like the APT▸ perhaps? |

I thought that the price was relatively high, one criticism of the project was the substantial cost of the trains. IET=Incredibly Expensive Trains ! According to some critics. In the early days of the project, many promises were made about the quality and reliability of these new trains. |

08:03 London Paddington to Penzance due 13:07
08:03 London Paddington to Penzance due 13:07 will call additionally at Castle Cary.
This is due to a fault on this train.
Just wondering why a problem will give an additional station stop?
I've seen it on other trips since IET▸ 's started.

I would say likely to do with the 07:03 being cancelled: 07:03 London Paddington to Paignton due 10:16 will be cancelled.
