Derailment within St Philips Marsh depot, 11 Aug 2018

« on: August 11, 2018, 06:11:19 »

Oh dear !!!! JourneyCheck doesn't say which depot but I presume this to be SPM^▸ so are we in for a day of disruption of west services today. Huh

06:43 Bristol Temple Meads to Penzance due 11:27
06:43 Bristol Temple Meads to Penzance due 11:27 will be started from Plymouth.
It will no longer call at Bristol Temple Meads, Weston-super-Mare, Taunton, Tiverton Parkway, Exeter St Davids, Exeter St Thomas, Dawlish, Teignmouth, Newton Abbot, Totnes and Ivybridge.
This is due to a derailment within the depot.

Seems likely, many of the Weymouth services are down to two cars, vice 4 or 5. Luckily the weather forecast is not too good so may put off some from travelling

Three coaches less over plan into Weymouth and back during the Saturday peak

Facilities on the 06:49 Worcester Shrub Hill to Weymouth due 11:09.
This is due to a fault on this train.
Will be formed of 2 coaches instead of 5 from Bristol Temple Meads.

16:08 Weymouth to Great Malvern due 20:35

I thinks that leaves the was-Wizard 11:25 into Weymouth and 17:30 at scheduled length - though I don't know what the schedule is / was - 3, 5, or 6 carriages?
