17:18 PAD» -OXF» was formed of the extra 3 coaches vice a 180. The "disruptive passenger" reason must be linked to the 180 not being available (perhaps assault on the Train Manager and no cover available??)
Both the 17:15 and the 17:18 out of Paddington were showing delayed boarding, with disruptive passengers as the given reason. |

Looks like FGW▸ might be down an HST▸ set again today, apparently the 0511 WOS» -PAD» is currently stuck in the OOC▸ /Ladbroke Grove area with a loss of air to the brakes.
That managed to limp into Paddington but now a Swansea service has failed on the Up Relief nearby. Yep, I'm on it. Brake problem. Would love to see the latest reliability statistics, I'm not as close to it as some but there seems to be a lot more failures than usual at the moment? |

I was stuck on it for an hour with 100's of others and heard some tapping under one of the coach connectors, I presume it was the fitter trying to fix things with his tapping stick. Anyway, problems was resolved and we finally got to PAD, not limping so much so hopefully not out of service for too long. WE |

Yep, I'm on it. Brake problem. This was http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/C40585/2014/11/12/advancedIt stalled on the relief line a little outside from Old Oak common. According to the train manager the driver was having a look around outside and managed to 'isolate the problem'. Meanwhile the original broken down service was off on its merry way. Whilst bad for my commute at least it left the main open again. |

To paraphrase Lady Bracknell: To have one HST▸ brake failure ( on the Up Main) is a misfortune; to have two HST brake failures (the second on the UP Relief) looks like carelessness! At first, I though one had become stuck behind the other. |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

From my FGW_Alerts, moments ago: BRI» to NLS on your route: 18:20 will have 2 not 8 coaches - a train fault.

1. Bristol Temple Meads.
And whilst the alert would logically suggest that the HST▸ due to continue beyond Bristol TM‡ was substituted by a 2 car DMU▸ because of the fault, there has been a shorter formed 'HST' used in passenger service (not the first, and probably not the last time, I'll link to this web page): http://www.luxsoft.demon.co.uk/village/hst.html |

Correct.  And ... I was quite pleased with that photo, taken rather hurriedly when we were there, purely by chance, on our way back from Bath on that Sunday - but Mrs CfN was less than impressed, complaining that I'm always taking boring pictures of trains and stuff ...   |

From GWR▸ JourneyCheck: 16:59 Brighton to Bristol Temple Meads due 20:26
Will be formed of 2 coaches instead of 3. There are no reservations on this service.
This is due to a gas leak near the railway earlier today. Now, I'm prepared to believe that there was a perfectly logical chain of events from the gas leak to the short train. But doesn't that suggest some startling images of just how that third carriage went missing? |
