1  Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Re: Cotswold Line - 2018 cancellation and amendments log on: November 30, 2018, 17:07:45

17:38 Moreton-In-Marsh to London Paddington due 19:03
17:38 Moreton-in-Marsh to London Paddington due 19:03 will be started from Oxford.
It will no longer call at Moreton-in-Marsh.
This is due to a broken down train.

Because 1W32 15:50 PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains) MIM terminated at Oxford. For the third day in succession. This service's profile on OnTimeTrains is abysmal:

https://www.ontimetrains.co.uk/journeys/PAD/MIM/15:50/17:26/GW;dayOfWeekRange=Weekdays;dateRange=12W

Presumably the 'broken down train' referred to above isn't the HST▸ (High Speed Train) on this service since the return (from Oxford) is still slated to run?

04:47 Hereford to London Paddington due 07:52

04:47 Hereford to London Paddington due 07:52 has been cancelled.
This is due to a fault on this train.

Not sure if this was to have been an IET▸ (Intercity Express Train) or HST▸ (High Speed Train)
3  Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Re: Cotswold Line - 2018 cancellation and amendments log on: November 08, 2018, 13:10:45
I was on the 05:28 HFD» (Hereford - next trains):PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains) - standing everywhere past Reading (and possibly past Oxford, though it was at Reading I saw the overflow. Seat reservations in the bin as well - didn't affect me, but irksome for pax who've got one then to find it's worth nowt.

12:09 Hereford to London Paddington due 15:27
12:09 Hereford to London Paddington due 15:27 was terminated at Evesham.
It will no longer call at Honeybourne, Moreton-in-Marsh, Kingham, Charlbury, Hanborough, Oxford, Reading, Slough and London Paddington.
It has been delayed at Worcester Shrub Hill and is now 38 minutes late.
This is due to a fault on this train.

HST▸ (High Speed Train) – not sure what the fault is/was

19:42 Great Malvern to London Paddington due 22:29
 
19:42 Great Malvern to London Paddington due 22:29 will be cancelled.
This is due to a fault on this train.

Likely due to 16:22 1W33 PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains):GMV giving up the ghost at Oxford:

This service was cancelled between Oxford and Great Malvern due to a problem with the train (M8).

The 05:28 HFD» (Hereford - next trains):PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains) started this morning from WOS» (Worcester Shrub Hill - next trains), and is currently around 20 minutes late and running direct from MIM to OXF» (Oxford - next trains) to try to make up some time. It's an HST▸ (High Speed Train) rather than IET9.

19:42 Great Malvern to London Paddington due 22:31
19:42 Great Malvern to London Paddington due 22:31 will be cancelled.
This is due to a fault on this train.

The 16:22 PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains):GMV (which I'm guessing forms the above) didn't make it beyond Reading:

This service was cancelled between Reading and Great Malvern due to a problem with the brakes (MN).

16:22 London Paddington to Great Malvern due 19:24 will be cancelled.
This is due to a safety inspection of the track.

Only minutes before departure time - train was at the platform at PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains).
9  Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Re: Cotswold Line - 2018 cancellation and amendments log on: September 27, 2018, 13:20:35
I was on the 05:28, and remarkably it went from 15' late at M-in-M to 2' late at Paddington, pickup 12' by virtue of the 'express' run between M-in-M and Oxford.

13:55 Worcester Foregate Street to London Paddington due 16:27 will be started from Worcester Shrub Hill.
It will no longer call at Worcester Foregate Street.
This is due to damage to the overhead electric wires.
Last Updated:20/09/2018 12:36

I must have missed the electrification between Worcester's two stations …

On a more serious note: any idea what this relates to?
11  Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Re: Cotswold Line - 2018 cancellation and amendments log on: August 16, 2018, 16:57:58
Thanks! Yes, it's been my twice-weekly ride home for the last six months or so (though through choice not today, as luck would have it) and it's generally been spot on

Not on JourneyCheck as at 16:00 but National Rail Enquiries has the 16:22 Paddington to Great Malvern showing as cancelled. @GWRHelp on Twitter says it's "not running because of a fault on board".

So that's another faulty IET▸ (Intercity Express Train) cancellation on the Cotswold Line today.

RTT» (Real Time Trains - website) lists as "This service was cancelled throughout due to a mishap (MY)." Note sure what qualifies as 'a mishap' ...
13  Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Re: Cotswold Line - 2018 cancellation and amendments log on: August 16, 2018, 13:56:11
I was wondering that. I saw that the service was 35 minutes late leaving Hereford - could the diversion have been to avoid fouling up other services on the single-track sections of the line?
