RTT» (Real Time Trains - website) reports that 11:52 Paddington - Hereford was "cancelled between Oxford and Hereford due to an issue with the train crew (TG)".

JourneyCheck reports

15:18 Hereford to London Paddington due 18:29 will be started from Oxford.
It will no longer call at Hereford, Ledbury, Colwall, Great Malvern, Malvern Link, Worcester Foregate Street, Worcester Shrub Hill, Worcestershire Parkway Hl, Pershore, Evesham, Honeybourne, Moreton-In-Marsh, Kingham, Charlbury and Hanborough.
This is due to a shortage of train crew.

It's clearly nothing like the dark days of 2018 but the fact that this thread is up to page 22 (last year's only got to three) does suggest that it's not been a good year service-wise on the north Cotswold Line.

Certainly, when I wake up and check the trains I am always prepared for a cancelation, delay or short-formation. And I am using Delay Repay and the GWR (Great Western Railway) Refund Portal quite regularly too.

It will no longer call at Worcester Foregate Street, Worcester Shrub Hill, Worcestershire Parkway Hl, Pershore, Evesham, Honeybourne, Moreton-In-Marsh, Kingham, Charlbury and Hanborough.

Sunday late afternoon: the last through train to London.

The next service, 20 minutes later, involves a change and an hour's wait at Newport. The one half an hour later involves a half hour wait at Foregate Street.

The (cancelled) through train: 2 hours 55 minutes. The others around 3 hours 30 minutes, the Newport connections involving an hour's wait.

Not clever ... but (ironically) not as much delay as the bus that went the wrong way yesterday which due in London at 23:40 but the special train didn't drag in until 01:04 .

09:52 London Paddington to Hereford due 12:46 will no longer call at Hanborough, Charlbury, Kingham, Honeybourne and Pershore but will call additionally at Slough.
It is being delayed between Oxford and Moreton-In-Marsh and is now expected to be 25 minutes late.
This is due to a fault with the signalling system.

Nothing about the return working of the 16:58, which should form the 19:45 from Great Malvern.
