Not so good this morning...
07/09/17 21:45 Penzance to London Paddington due 05:11 will be terminated at Taunton.
It will no longer call at Reading and London Paddington.
It has been previously delayed, is being further delayed at Tiverton Parkway and is now expected to be 300 minutes late.
This is due to a fault on this train.
Looks like it limped along, eventually sat down, and blocked the morning trains coming up to London behind it. |

Currently (06:50) sat alongside platform 4 at Taunton with a Cross Country and GWR▸ services from Plymouth vying for platform 5 behind it.
Some GWR staff might have been late for work, there is a long standing arrangement for the sleeper to call at Swindon at 03:15 to pick them up.

Presumably it wouldn't have been beyond the ability of GWR to arrange alternative transport for their staff? |

The rescuing loco also had fuel problems of its own which further delayed things.
Empty stock just approaching Reading (10:20am) having come up the Berks & Hants.

According to RTT» it left Penzance on time but subsequently got into trouble. It was 55 late at Par, 81 late at Plymouth and 163 late at Exeter St Davids. Why didn't they just CAPE▸ it at Exeter St Davids rather than let it carry on and fail (and block the line) before it reached Taunton? |

Funnily enough, RTT» shows that the following trains were cancelled from Paddington due to an issue with the train crew: 0547 to Worcester Foregate Street 0615 to Hayes & Harlington 0652 to Great Malvern |

Last nights "up" failed at Hemerdon and was pulled back to Plymouth by the two Laira 08s.
57603 came down light engine to collect the rake and 57604 today, however that's now failed on its way back up to Paddington inside Marley Tunnel. Assuming tonight's "down" will be affected looking at the time now.
Currently disrupting services on the up line in that area (Totnes)

Saw one of the 57's running light through Reading at around 1130 today and wondered if something was up!

The ECS▸ is now underway almost 3 hours late. Brakes stuck on in the tunnel according to well positioned posters on a Facebook group.
It held in the Totnes platform avoiding line to allow 1A94 to overtake, and is now following 1A94. expected to Paddington at 2334 now and OOC▸ 2352. Definitely delaying the down tonight.

1M83 has also overtaken it, and looks as though 1A35 is about to.
