Title: 0522 Plymouth-Paddington Service Missing Stops (20/10/2008) Post by: Lee on October 20, 2008, 08:44:35 Interesting revision from the FGW website :
05:22 Plymouth to London Paddington due 09:45 This train has been revised.It will no longer call at: Weston-Super-Mare, Bath Spa and Chippenham.This is due to a delay on a previous journey.

Or could it just possibly be that the reason given for delay isn't exactly 100% accurate? National Rail Enquiries says it left Plymouth on time and got progressively later as far as Highbridge. Which looks to me more like the wrong kind of leaves. Interestingly, missing out Bath and Chippenham reduced the delay by a grand total of two minutes.

Title: Re: 0522 Plymouth-Paddington Service Missing Stops (20/10/2008) Post by: Timmer on October 20, 2008, 18:09:21 I would imagine this train was diverted via the Badminton line between Bristol-Swindon hence missing out Bath and Chippenham?

Correct Title: Re: 0522 Plymouth-Paddington Service Missing Stops (20/10/2008) Post by: John R on October 20, 2008, 18:26:26 It also missed Weston, which enabled it to get back ahead of the 0830 departure from Bristol Temple Meads. A good move.
