Unusual Train Routing

[whole diary]

[bigdaz]

If the live departure boards are to be believed:

20:34   Gatwick Airport via Guildford   Cancelled
       
20:34   Gatwick Airport via Guildford   On time   10

...then the 20:34 will, tonight, depart from Platform 10, which means the train will cross the UR, DR, UM, DM to the Reading Down Spur!

Anyone with access to TRUST^▸ (Train Running System TOPS) or similar will be able to confirm this happened.

Reports on that train available here, although I don't know how long that link will be active for.

Shown as departing Reading on time but also as cancelled at Reading. This may go back to something that was discussed a little while ago somewhere on the board, where the third-rail part of Reading station has a different location code from the main part of the station. So if the train departed from a different part of the station from the usual then it may be that it shows up as "cancelled" from the third-rail station even though it left from the main part, if you see what I mean.

Last report as I type this was 3 late Wokingham. I don't know how much jiggery-pokery is involved with routeing the train from platform 10 to the Guildford line, but it looks like this may have happened from what I can decipher.

For the record:

Weird.
Shows calling at RDG^‡(resolve) then Cancelled.

Input for Cancelled comes up as "CIS^▸ (Customer Information System) AM05"

Also these are WTT^▸ (Working Time-Table) times I guess. It actually left Guildford and Gomshall 1 Late.
