London Paddington - Swansea Friday 29th October

« on: October 30, 2010, 18:13:08 »

I was looking at the Paddington to Swansea services last night on my iPhone. I noticed even at Midnight a few were 'lost'. I believe them to be the last 3 services to Swansea. I then woke up in the early hours and saw that they were due in at 4am ish. I think! including one that was about 3 hours late

Did my memory serve me right that they were running very late?
