Hmm. That was an interesting one. Shocked Cheesy

I received a text alert from First Great Western at 08:45 this morning, telling me,

Morchard Road - that great transport hub - needs adding to the map. Or have services overshot the buffers at Barnstaple and set out across the Irish Sea?

Passed it last Saturday, and it was still in situ, betwixt Crediton and Barnstaple.

There are currently 24 service alterations, and someone is trying use every page of the excuse book! Earlier emergency engineering, obstruction on the line, problem under investigation, problem with an earlier service, safety checks having been made earlier  - all these get a look-in.

There seems to be a lot of 'emergency' engineering works between Didcot and Oxford. Didn't this happen last weekend? Urgent as in the line will close after a certain time.  Roll Eyes Huh

Consequences?

The gate from the Llama farm at Arthur's Crossing got damaged, and caused a problem under investigation.  When it became clear something was amiss, some safety check needed to made, and indeed there proved to be an obstruction of the line (a.k.a. a Llama) which had to be shoo-ed back into the field, and emergency engineering works (tieing the cate closed with a piece of twine) were needed. This all held up the train to Little Malvern , which in turn delayed the return service (because of the problem with an earlier service.)

Who would want to be a Llama Farmer?

As the Fat Controler is so fond of saying Llama 'You have caused confusion and delay !'
Honestly you could not make it up  Or could you?.

La llama, que se llama "Llama", est^ en llamas.

Yes, 'llama' in Spanish is a homograph with three different meanings.
