Title: A 3-Hour Gap & Turboed (09/10/2008) Post by: Lee on October 09, 2008, 12:09:30 From the FGW website :
11:06 Great Malvern to London Paddington due 13:59 This train will be started from Oxford.It will no longer call at: Great Malvern, Malvern Link, Worcester Foregate Street, Worcester Shrub Hill, Pershore, Evesham, Honeybourne, Moreton-In-Marsh, Kingham, Charlbury and Hanborough.This train will run short formed with 3 carriages.This is due to an earlier train fault.

Conditions must have been unpleasant and as crowded as the halts train into Oxford was yesterday morning after the first Hereford service failed to show. As my colleague put it, 'it wasn't like sardines, we were packed in so tight it was more like anchovies'.

Obviously didn't update the website.
