Title: 18:05 Paddington-Frome 22/07 Post by: BBM on July 22, 2014, 18:50:49 Currently it appears to be at a stand in the Old Oak Common area. From what I can gather from Twitter accounts of people I follow who are stuck on it, it's failed with loss of air and a fitter is awaited. (RTT suggests that the 18:10 HEx is stuck behind it.) Understandably there are complaints about the temperature inside the train and @_OzBurns has posted this picture:

This service will now terminate at Trowbridge and no longer call at Westbury or Frome. Update at 19:08: Fitters are now on board. Provisions to get water to the service are currently being planned. Update at 18:54: Fitters en route. Trains to run onto Down Relief.
