Meanwhile, a repeat of a posting from the very end of the 2025 topic : I've posted an analysis of scheduled and actual running times between Ascott and Evesham on the 'Problems with IET trains' topic, at https://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=31357.msg370335#new.

EDIT (15:00):

1W01 09:48 London Paddington to Hereford (12:46) : delayed near Slough (+16), arrived Great Malvern +17 and cancelled thereafter.

1W21 10:48 London Paddington to Shrub Hill (13:01) : delayed between Paddington and Reading (+59), arrived Oxford +58 and cancelled thereafter.

11:48 London Paddington to Hereford due 14:44 will be terminated at Worcester Shrub Hill.
It has been previously delayed, has been further delayed between Reading and Oxford and is now 38 minutes late.
This is due to a fault with the signalling system.
