Odd one - real time trains shows that it is scheduled to make those calls, and yet it passed through.  Perhaps it was crowded and skipped stations to drop intermediate traffic? Was there in issue with staff such that onboard crew were not passed to make those calls?  Something to do with Remeberance bearing in mind it was on the long none-stop run at 11 a.m.?

Sorry every one should have stated NOT calling Chippenhan Swindon and Didcot

The service is/was/should be a nine coach set,and it was a five coach set,and it was full and standing from BTM▸ (Bristol Temple Meads (strictly, it should be BRI))
