Title: Bouncy Bouncy Post by: John R on August 19, 2008, 10:02:09 07:38 Paignton to London Paddington due 11:42
This train has been revised.It will additionally call at: Bristol Parkway.It will no longer call at: Bath Spa, Chippenham, Swindon, Reading and London Paddington.This train will run short formed with 2 carriages between Exeter St Davids and Bristol Parkway.This is due to a train fault. Just seen calling at Nailsea, and yep, it's a Class 142.

Title: Re: Bouncy Bouncy Post by: smithy on August 19, 2008, 20:23:38 Later worked a Bristol TM- Parkway stopper so presumably went on a jolly to Weston after working exeter to parkway to connect with the 10.30 padd it then worked a local parkway to btm because the 150/1 failed at btm.a single 153 then took over at btm so the 142 could return home Title: Re: Bouncy Bouncy Post by: eightf48544 on August 20, 2008, 11:51:18 Was this the 10:13 ex Bath? If so I caught the cancellation on my traffic radio from Radio Bristol travelling down the M4/5 to Exemouth.
Where I spent several hours watching the trains at Star Cross from my Uncle's front room overlooking the esturary at Exemouth. Caught a couple of two set 142s and the usual FGW HSTs and XC vomiters plus an SWT 159. Also saw 3 66s Sheds one EWS LE going West one EWS on westbound tanks and one Freightliner on eastbound tanks. Both sets of tanks 4 wheelers not sure if oil, cement or clay.

It called at all the booked stops and no more as far as Temple Meads and then worked up to Parkway to connect with a South Wales to London service.

Title: Re: Bouncy Bouncy Post by: BBM on August 22, 2008, 10:41:31 And again today:
07:38 Paignton to London Paddington due 11:42 This train will be terminated at Swindon.It will no longer call at: Reading and London Paddington.This train will run short formed with 2 carriages between Exeter St Davids and Bristol Temple Meads.This is due to an earlier train fault. This train will have 4 carriages between Bristol Temple Meads and Swindon. The WNXX forum is reporting that it'll be a Pacer from Paignton which will couple to a 150 at Bristol TM. Title: Re: Bouncy Bouncy Post by: devon_metro on August 22, 2008, 10:49:48 142030 went to Bristol with apparently 150/1 coupling at Temple Meads.
