Thanks, grahame. It gets even better, though. Bearing in mind the known limitations of the Coffee Shop forum's search facility, I have enjoyed an evening trawling through historic posts relating specifically to the Night Riviera and combined them all here. We now have 1858 posts on the same subject, sorted in chronological order and with their original post headings preserved whenever possible. If someone wanted to write a book about the Night Riviera, here would be a good place to start!  Hope this helps, CfN.  Service beyond the call - thank you CfN! |

21:45 Penzance to London Paddington due 05:09
16/08/24 21:45 Penzance to London Paddington due 05:09 will be diverted between Taunton and Reading and terminated at Reading.
It will no longer call at London Paddington.
It has been previously delayed, has been further delayed at Exeter St Davids and is now 172 minutes late.
This is due to a fault on this train.

It arrived into Reading nearly two hours and 15 minutes late.
It was slightly delayed in west Cornwall following a late running train which had been held at St Erth awaiting police. Apparently three teenagers had been running wild in one coach of a 158 and vandalised a toilet in the process.
The real problems began at Hemerdon, east of Plymouth, and it was nearly an hour late by Totnes. It then didn’t leave Exeter St David’s until gone 4am, nearly three hours late. Some time was clawed back by sending it via Newbury instead of Bristol and Swindon as planned.
It’s the second night running the up service has had problems. Thursday night’s train was nearly an hour late by Truro but managed to recoup half that by London Paddington.

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

... and on a Sunday. Not a normal Sunday though. I expect it will be quite quiet tonight. |

It's not the passengers travelling on the train who I'd be concerned about - I've caught the sleeper from Bodmin Parkway in the past, and the idea of waiting there for nearly two hours doesn't appeal. |

Best for those Bodmin Parkway passengers last night would have been a timely instruction to take the service down to Penzance where their beds were, but an instruction like that is fraught with uncertainties.

Or at least as far as Truro where there is also a staffed waiting room.

Delay repay is excellent on the sleeper as most people are quite happy arriving late but are still entitled to a refund!
