Well on the 1423 Reading to Malvern - which was delayed already due to the shenanigans at Reading and Slough

Crawling we get an announcement that due to a fault with the power car we are being changed at Oxford


If they dare pull a crappy 165 out of the woodwork I will not be impressed.

TM has been told its a HST BUT..... and we have to wait 35 minutes for the privilege

I suspect some eejit blamed him for the power car failing and the train being terminated.

I do know it was bad enough an ambulance was called
