Thanks, dmutony!

No, nobody has mentioned it to me - but I did notice a service being stopped at Yatton yesterday, from our forum's 'current running' system:

20100120   14:00   Cardiff Central   16:04   Taunton   short working, rolling stock issues

Would that be it?  Roll Eyes

Apparently the coaching stock was having braking problems earlier in the day so that might have influenced it.

From what I read it was blamed on brakes which is why the service got terminated at Yatton.

i have also heard it was a trainee driver on the loco and that he got his braking wrong,  but that might just be rumour. Huh
