Alterations to services at London Paddington
Due to a shortage of train crew at London Paddington:
Train services running to and from this station will be revised. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
Customer Advice
Customers are advised to check their journey on Sunday morning before leaving home because of a shortage of train crew due to England reaching the final of the Euros reducing the number of colleagues available for overtime shifts today.
To help customers, tickets for Sunday 14 July will be valid on Monday 15 July as we are unable to procure road transport.
We're sorry for any inconvenience to your journey today.

......I note that this message on Journeycheck was hurriedly "updated" removing all references to football & overtime......I wonder who ordered that?  |

Oh - that's an excellent offer. Has anyone recommended yet that people who need to make a peak hour trip into London tomorrow should purchase a superoffpeak return for this afternoon |

Trouble starts before 6pm for anyone looking to travel to the Southwest if you don’t make the 16:36 Plymouth train:
17:03 Exeter* Cancelled
18:00 Plymouth via Bristol Cancelled
18:03 Penzance Cancelled
18:36 Plymouth Cancelled
19:03 Plymouth Cancelled
RTT» showing 20:03 Plymouth also cancelled but not listed as cancelled on Journeycheck. Perhaps Control maybe able to reinstate one or more of the above, but so far today that has yet to happen.
*Normally Penzance but cut short to Exeter then cancelled throughout.

1903 has been reinstated. National Rail being somewhat more unequivocal; "Disruption to Great Western Railway services: do not travel after 18:00 today" |

Not showing on the Paddington departure board so safe to say it’s not running. Not everything that has been cancelled today has appeared on Journeycheck or on station departure boards. As we have seen in times past, trains have also just disappeared from train data sites like RTT days before a known period of disruption. I think it’s a bit underhand doing this particularly for those who have booked tickets for a particular train turn up at the station and find their train isn’t showing on the departure board. At least display it as cancelled to eliminate confusion as to what has happened to their train. Can’t be a help to station staff either having to explain to someone that the train has been removed from the system. |

The 21:03 to Exeter will call additionally at Pewsey, Westbury and Castle Cary, something I think this train should be doing anyway along with Newbury. 20:03 being the last train from London for these stations is too early. |
