Well the 1510 to Bridgend left ludlow 5 minutes late but will easiy make the connection in cardiff - just hope the FGW element runs!

I think Arriva must be doing maintenance as we usually get the nice newpurple trains but tis is a clapped out old thing with tiny tables

UPDATED at 22:15

After my update at 13:30 had to respond to a call out to Bridgwater 38.5 miles each way and returned home about 15 minutes ago.

Nice to see qprrule added a couple alterations not on my list (thanks qprrule) and not to be outdone there is just one final alteration to be added so the list of service incidents noted today which must surely clearly indicate a shortage of Adelantes / HST's today judging by the number of alterations noted today.

Just hope those engineers, mechanics and fitters have all done their jobs today changing all those engines, engine oil, topping up all those engine coolants, checked all the jubilee clips on the air pipes are tight, all the door sensors are correctly set, the CDL's on the HST's are all go and of course all the fuel tanks are topped up for a trouble free morning commuter service on the morning of 12/11/2007.

Perhaps this is a AH directive so lets see what the morning brings.

Goodnight everyone, I'm like the majority of FGW stock, knackered so I'll leave you all to peruse the list of cancellations noted on the Cotswold line today as under :-

martyjon, to my knowledge there were no cancellations on the cotswold line, there was however a service terminated short due to a problem on the train, a fight apparently, and an additional train carried on it's place.

Your list only shows alterations, so saying cancellations is wrong word, maybe because you are knackered.
