Anyone know what happened to this morning's Bristolian? (0730 ex Temple Meads) It seemed to be stuck forever between Worle and Yatton according to the OLDBs.

Interesting I posted a similar incident with an HST stopped by brake failure by my house a few weeks ago.

High mileage fault?

Ouch! I thought it was a long delay. So what time did the unfortunate passengers get on the move (having seen several trains pass them)?  Just as well it was in the loop, otherwise there would have been chaos.
