Looks like the 1R06 1757 London Paddington to Reading (calling at Slough, Burnham, Maidenhead and Twyford) is a DMU▸ (Diesel Multiple Unit) this week, while the 2R60 1759 London Paddington to Reading (calling at Ealing Broadway, Southall then all stations) is an EMU▸ (Electric Multiple Unit). This was originally the case from January but in February they swapped the units to make the stopper a 5-car DMU and the faster one an 8-car EMU.

A couple from JourneyCheck today:

11:00 Bristol Temple Meads to London Paddington due 12:37
Facilities on the 11:00 Bristol Temple Meads to London Paddington due 12:37.
This is due to a fault on this train.
This train will now be formed of the usual number of coaches.

08:41 Gloucester to Weymouth due 12:09
Facilities on the 08:41 Gloucester to Weymouth due 12:09.
This is due to a fault on this train.
Will be formed of 4 coaches instead of 3.

With these correct and extended formations you are really spoiling us, GWR▸ (Great Western Railway)! Undecided

This is due to a shortage of train crew.

This late notice is due to a shortage of computer staff ??
