07:08 Great Malvern to London Paddington due 09:59
This train has been cancelled.This is due to a train fault.


07:51 London Paddington to Great Malvern due 10:39
This train has been started from Reading.It will no longer call at: London Paddington and Slough.This is due to a member of train crew being unavailable.

No catering service.

09:48 Great Malvern to London Paddington due 13:01
This train has run empty.

Light refreshments available in carriage A.

11:05 Great Malvern to London Paddington due 14:00
This train has been revised.This is due to a member of train crew being unavailable.

No catering between Great Malvern and Worcester Shrub Hill.


I class myself as pretty Amature.. so without trying to sound stupid, what do they mean by "this train has run empty"? was it because of a fault or no passengers? i've seen a bulletin similar to this before.  Also.. it's now 9.38, it's due to leave at 9.48 so it hasn't run yet surely!?

Either a fault with the train that makes it unsafe for passengers to travel in or no guard,sorry Train Manager.
