Title: What is the definition of 'fault' Post by: PhilWakely on March 09, 2018, 16:10:29 Quote 18:18 Warminster to Cheltenham Spa due 20:50 18:18 Warminster to Cheltenham Spa due 20:50 will no longer call at Dilton Marsh and Avoncliff. This is due to a fault on this train. Last Updated:09/03/2018 14:58 I believe the service in question is a Turbo and the reason for not stopping is the absence of SDO? In which case, since when has the absence of SDO been a 'fault'?

In which case, since when has the absence of SDO been a 'fault'? That is my understanding of why that train's not calling too. The term "fault" is applied quite widely - it basically covers things which render a train unable to (fully) be used to run a service it's booked for. So lack of SDO is described as a fault, as is a train which can't do its full diagram because it would run out of fuel. Exceptions: if train is stopped because it's run out of hour and needs a service, that may be described "more that trains requiring maintenance at the same time".
