a friend who i was due to meet off a train today at penzance, text me to say that the train had been stuck in Camborne for almost an hour about 1400 this afternoon, no problems were showing then, but these are showing now. the live feed on here is showing the 1449 pz- plymouth as cancelled due to an earlier broken down train, assuming it was this train that broke down on way down to penzance,

these are the only 2 problems on fgw website, ,
