From the FGW website :

16:30 Cardiff Central to Portsmouth Harbour due 19:54
This train will run short formed with 3 carriages between Bristol Temple Meads and Portsmouth Harbour.This is due to a train fault.

This train has been revised.It will additionally call at: Keynsham and Oldfield Park.This is due to a train fault.

Bit premature with that announcement as we picked up a 150 at BTM, although we were late away due to a few technical hiccups, and we were delayed further due to following the HST.  Roll Eyes

I'm assuming that the 1722 off BTM is now booked 5 car considering the official announcement, I think pretty much all seats were taken last night and I can see it becoming a service of choice if there is a guaranteed seat. Interesting it doesn't stop at Bradford, would be nice if there was a 42 min journey the other way in the mornings.  Cry

The 1722 off BTM was one of the handful of Cardiff-Portsmouth services that didnt stop at Bradford in the December 2007 timetable, so no change in that respect.

Obviously 5 coaches on it is welcome. The following photo was taken at Bath Spa on 02/06/2008 :
