Anyone know what the operating incident around Camborne was last night? average delays of 40 mins, A friend was waiting at Hayle when the xc due to Penzance at 2142 came through at 2211, when a FGW stopper was due. the FGW arrived at 2237! Obviously no platform announcements or screens at hayle

Thats a lot of delay for a door on the catch - they usually are dealt with in about 10 minutes. A door open, SSASPAD or similar incident that resulted in staff being removed from duty might explain.

It was a XC service, voyager operated that caused the delay, so not quite sure door on catch is a possibility?

I doubt we will ever know on a public forum.

Door on the catch only happens with HSTs (or Mark 1 stock!). Anything with slam doors.

It was not an XC service. It was the FGW in front of 1V58!

Thanks for stating the obvious.

This incident was nothing to do with a door on the catch, it was far more serious - enough said!
