Last night the 19 30 Cardiff to Portsmouth Hbr started at Newport due, it was quoted as "train late from Depot". A bit difficult to absorb at 19 30 at night when the unit comes off Fratton Depot at 06xx in the morning.
Could very easily of been a set swap at Bristol Temple Meads, or another train late from the depot, which delayed it. |

Lots of unusually large passengers flowing (  ) about this evening on the Bristol-Cardiff corridor, due to Olympic^ football at the Millennium Stadium. So much so that FGW▸ arranged ticket acceptance on First Buses between Bristol-Filton AW-Bristol Parkway to move passengers onto South Wales HSTs▸ and off grossly overcrowded local DMUs▸ . Particularly badly affected were Taunton-Cardiff services. I know because I attempted to board one at Temple Meads bound for Patchway. Gave up on that idea and took the bus alternative instead. |

Years ago this one. But: Pullman Restaurant Service will start from Reading. This is due to a fault with lineside equipment earlier.  Turned out some of the Food and the Chef were on a late running Paddington Bound Train |

Not surprised, certainly a fair amount of lighting in Southampton a few hours ago.

Indeed - lightning strike earlier on affected Eastleigh panel and caused a few signal/points issues, resolved fairly quickly.

"This is due to emergency services dealing with an earlier incident." That probably means person hit by a train, but as was mentioned above, it's been far too frequent of late and constant use of "person hit by a train" looks bad on them.
Also "debris on the line" and "trespasser on the line" / "due to an earlier trespass incident."

10:57 Reading to Newbury Racecourse due 11:16
This train will be cancelled.
This is due to poor weather conditions. ...well yes - but the weather has caused the race meeting to be abandoned, therefore removing the need for the train! |
