Not sure what BerkshireBugsy saw this morning, but the 0622 Adelante ex Reading did not make it to Worcester.  I noticed on NREs(resolve) that the return 0826 ex WOF started at Oxford due to an earlier train failure.

I undderstand that 004 was so extensively cannibalised that parts are being manufactured & it won't be in service until the end of next month at the earliest

What threw me about this 180 was the fact that the WOF service (I think) leaves RDG(resolve) at 620ish our train pulled in on time and a 180 was leaving. I will never know Smiley

Today (Mon Aug 20), the 11:20 Paddington - Great Malvern has been terminated at Oxford, and the 14:26 Malvern - Paddington cancelled, both on account of a train fault.

3D22, 05:17 PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains)-OXF» (Oxford - next trains) empty stock would be my guess.  You can see from Southern Stag's diagrams on the previous page that it heads to Oxford in order to form 2P22, 07:02 OXF-PAD.

What's the difference between an empty train with a 3-prefix number and one with a 5-prefix number?

Importance.  Usually Class 3 ECS (Empty Coaching Stock) trains are longer distance moves forming key services when they get to their destination.

It was badly cannibalised, but is now back with FGW (First Great Western) and is working trains today, so that's all 5 now back I think.  Perhaps the fourth diagram will start next week?  p.s. it's unit 180104  Wink

They're the same as 'Southern Stag' posted on the previous page of this thread, except the 2nd and 4th diagram swap round at Oxford in the late afternoon.
