Here is today's cancellation list: 10:36 London Paddington to Paignton due 13:44
11:03 London Paddington to Newquay due 15:51
12:36 London Paddington to Paignton due 15:46
13:41 Exeter St Davids to London Paddington due 16:07
14:53 Paignton to London Paddington due 18:05
16:37 London Paddington to Plymouth due 20:03 And the only extra stops I can see (so far): 12:03 London Paddington to Penzance due 17:05 will call additionally at Pewsey, Westbury and Castle Cary.
This is due to the train making extra stops because a train was cancelled. |

You wouldn’t want to be on the 12:03 with the 10:36, 11:03 and 12:36 all cancelled. In fact, I dare say there’ll be some who won’t be on the 12:03.
They really need to find someone to take the 11:03 as far as Plymouth, even Exeter, otherwise the scene at Paddington around midday may not be too good.

They're listening to you! 11:03 London Paddington to Newquay due 15:51 will be reinstated.
It will be terminated at Plymouth.
It will no longer call at Liskeard, Bodmin Parkway, Par and Newquay.
This is due to a shortage of train crew. |

This is due to a shortage of train crew. Relieved for those traveling to the Southwest today that this train is now running. However, another semi-fast won’t be this evening: 18:36 London Paddington to Plymouth due 22:07
18:36 London Paddington to Plymouth due 22:07 will be cancelled.

Where are the job adverts if there is such a shortage of train crews?
The currently vacancies don’t reflect such a shortage of staff.

This is due to a shortage of train crew. Drew that up on an RTT» departure board ... though 2 services now re-instated ... to show what it means for Pewsey, another station like Melksham that seems to suffer.  |

10:34 London Paddington to Paignton due 13:44
10:34 London Paddington to Paignton due 13:44 will be reinstated.
It will be started from Taunton.
It will no longer call at London Paddington, Reading, Newbury, Pewsey, Westbury and Castle Cary.
This is due to a short-notice change to the timetable.
Will be formed of 3 coaches. Looks more like the replacement of a long distance express by a local train for part of the route than a re-instatement  . ... Also love "short-notice change to the timetable" with no reference to little things like shortage of crew. 1984 and doublespeak aloud and thriving in 2022. |

Whilst useful for local passengers in Devon, of no use for the stations listed in the title of this thread. These stations will be reliant later this afternoon on the already busy fasts stopping* to cover the ‘cancelled’ 1453 and 1652 ex Paignton trains. *As yet to be listed as stopping to cover the cancelled semifasts. |

16:52 Paignton to London Paddington due 20:07 will be terminated at Exeter St Davids.
It will no longer call at Taunton, Castle Cary, Westbury, Pewsey, Hungerford, Newbury, Reading and London Paddington.
This is due to failure of the electricity supply. Reason given a surprise? |
