This train has run short formed with 2 carriages.This is due to an earlier train fault.

08:46 Bristol Parkway to Bristol Temple Meads due 09:02
This train will run short formed with 2 carriages.This is due to an earlier train fault.

a 143+150 train to Cardiff Central was stuck at Bradford-on-Avon this morning at around 07:15, I overheard there were door problems. The South West train and another FGW behind it were standing just north of Trowbridge...luckily I was going the other direction!

2 people were waiting at Avoncliff and 3 at Freshford.

Good old 150 doors, I was in the following FGW and had assumed the 159 was in trouble. As both were delayed they clearly picked up those destined for ours, so we had loads of room, 20 min delay into Filton.
