So that's London - Swindon - Bristol.   I was wondering if it was trying to make up time but even with the stops removed, the service started 22 late and got to Bristol 30 late.  Perhaps running on a single power car?

It is all very well running a service fast, but it can easilly loose time anywhere. Reading is the worst "bottleneck"
