Title: Now THAT's what I call short formed! Post by: TaplowGreen on February 12, 2015, 12:18:51 13:03 Penzance to London Paddington due 18:21 This train will be terminated at Exeter St Davids. This train will no longer call at Tiverton Parkway, Taunton, Reading and London Paddington. Will be formed of 2 coaches instead of 8 from Penzance. This is due to an earlier train fault. ......that'll be cosy! :) Title: Re: Now THAT's what I call short formed!

Post by: bobm on February 12, 2015, 12:43:31 Must be a shortage of HSTs - in the past when the old 07:30 London Paddington to Penzance service was affected another set was usually found to take up the outward journey at either Bristol Temple Meads or Plymouth.
I note the morning HST from Frome terminated at Newbury this morning as well. Title: Re: Now THAT's what I call short formed! Post by: phile on February 12, 2015, 15:55:26 Down train terminated at Reading due train fault.
