06:09 Abergavenny to London Paddington due 09:44

2 June 2008
This train will be started from Worcester Shrub Hill.It will no longer call at: Abergavenny, Hereford, Ledbury, Colwall, Great Malvern, Malvern Link and Worcester Foregate Street.This is due to an earlier train fault.

Bearing in mind I had to DRIVE to Reading on Friday as I missed the 0841 by seconds - ran onto platform 1 as doors locking. This was due to some quirk of quantum physics causing my alarm clock to make itself 20 minutes slow overnight.

I pull into WOS^» with my clock showing 0724 - only to see the train sitting there on plat 2 - only a repeat of Friday or so I thought.

Clearly not ......... big sigh of relief
