The stock for both of these comes in from Stoke Gifford.
Leaves a gap in the up direction at Shrub Hill between the 'halts' train at 07:00 and the next at 09:15.

Later:

19:04 Great Malvern to London Paddington due 21:26 will be started from Reading.

Friday February 14

and after a good day yesterday, today we have a signals failure at Gloucester. This has resulted in

1L66 07:25 Worcester Shrub Hill to London Paddington (10:00) via Gloucester : re-routed via Cotswold line, running non-stop from Shrub hill to Didcot.
1P20 08:15 Worcester Shrub Hill to London Paddington (10:23) : cancelled throughout. This train arrives from Swindon via Gloucester.

Not sure why the 07:25 didn't get cancelled and the stock used for the 08:15.

This is due to more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time.

22:00 Hereford to London Paddington due 01:21 has been delayed at Worcester Shrub Hill and is now 58 minutes late.
This is due to a fault on this train.

Saturday February 15

A very good day. Attached screenshot is the RTT» (Real Time Trains - website) report for Evesham, with only one train in red, and that's five late.

Seems to be a farality at Charlbury this morning with line blocked until lunchtime, so maybe declared suspicious by BTP (British Transport Police)

Not quite.  Somebody jumped from a bridge in the Evesham area and had to be stretchered off in an ambulance.  Reported at 08:50 with normal working resumed at 09:30, but that delayed the first London bound service by an hour and will no doubt have a knock on effect for a little while.

The second up train has been diverted via Swindon, but the previous delayed one is pretty much running in its path to Didcot anyway.

Glad to hear this. I wonder why National Rail gave it the hashtag of #Charlbury, rather than #Evesham. And that disruption was extended to at least 1230

06:50 London Paddington to Great Malvern due 09:29 will be terminated at Worcester Foregate Street.
It has been delayed between London Paddington and Reading and is now 30 minutes late.
This is due to a speed restriction over defective track.

08:56 Great Malvern to London Paddington due 11:24 will no longer call at Didcot Parkway.
This is due to overcrowding.
Last Updated:19/02/2025 10:24

The 08:56 is a five-car set and is carrying the passengers from the cancelled 08:15.
