Title: London Paddington - Swansea Friday 29th October Post by: dmacw on October 30, 2010, 18:13:08 I was looking at the Paddington to Swansea services last night on my iPhone. I noticed even at Midnight a few were 'lost'. I believe them to be the last 3 services to Swansea. I then woke up in the early hours and saw that they were due in at 4am ish. I think! including one that was about 3 hours late
Did my memory serve me right that they were running very late? Title: Re: London Paddington - Swansea Friday 29th October Post by: SDS on October 30, 2010, 18:45:22 yep.
0037 arrival at SWA arrived at 0345 (sat at Swindon station for 2 hours) 0201 arrival at SWA arrived at 0411 (lost 73 mins between UFNGTN and swindon, and a further 50mins between parkway and newport!)

No trains until all the points were clipped and scotched for straight running. The machine says.... 1845 Padd Swan got through... 1915 CAPED Bristol Parkway 2015 CAPED Bristol TM 2115 sat at Swindon 80 minutes, then arrived Cardiff 0234! 2245 wasn't too far behind! Last Sprinter through was the 2054 ex Bristol TM, (1822 ex Pompey) Title: Re: London Paddington - Swansea Friday 29th October Post by: SDS on October 30, 2010, 22:39:23 Cable theft at Magor!!!
