To be clear - there are boarding controls at Paddington/Reading and all tickets are being checked?
And at Exeter, Plymouth and Par. |

One of the HSTs▸ arriving at Newquay today then runs back empty to Paddington, another goes empty to St Philip' Marsh (Bristol).

And at Exeter, Plymouth and Par. Just goes to show they can do it when they want to.....perhaps similar on next Maundy Thursday.....I'm on the Royal Duchy heading for Plymouth, busy but not overly so....some poor chap got taken off by paramedics at Reading, didn't look too good.......lots of people moaning as there's no Pullman on this service today. |

I take it you decided to go by train and risk it because its a weekday and not a weekend? |

TM‡ has just announced that service is full and standing throughout 2nd class so my earlier comment about it being not overly crowded was overly optimistic! |

I'm heading west tomorrow lunchtime and back on Sunday night. I'll be on the last service up so should run or an alternative be offered. The alternative would be to come back Monday along with all the surfers.
On balance I think Sunday is the better option!

Good luck with that. Your nightmare scenario of course is the (now) usual collapse of the service on Sunday & GWR▸ encouraging everyone to travel on Monday instead.....with all the surfers too that would be cosy! |

As for today's 12:03, it was originally diagrammed to be seven coaches with a kitchen suitable for a Pullman but was swapped to an eight coach train with a smaller kitchen. Sensible decision in the circumstances.

Are you not getting the wetsuit out and taking your board to hang ten and shoot some tubes then, dude? |

Might be a better option than what I am doing. Stuffing 1,000 envelopes with various items, sticking stamps on and then filling every postbox within a one mile radius.

Would you rather key in 1000 e-mail addresses, identify a few attachments to each address and press the send key, it would be cheaper no envelopes to pay for and stamps to purchase. |
