And we have to assume the 15:49 (HST▸ ) will be cancelled as normal (or culled at Oxford!)
I can't wait
GWR▸ 's Twitter team have said "there is nothing to indicate that the 15:49 service won't run as scheduled all the way to Moreton-in-Marsh at present." They also reassured me yesterday evening that this morning's 07:10 MIM: PAD» was expected "to run as scheduled." Do bear in mind that this is the same Twitter team who will assure you that full crews are rostered for each and every timetabled service...........  |

They can only ever tell you what’s on the screen at the time.

......at least someone got a lie-in.....
05:11 Worcester Shrub Hill to London Paddington due 07:28 has been cancelled.
This is due to this train being late from the depot.

The train was stuck in the sidings as the person responsible for operating the ground frame decided it wasn’t safe to do so due to ice and snow underfoot.

I do have some sympathy with that decision: all railway staff are constantly encouraged to think, "If you can't do it safely, don't do it". |

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.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Saturday December 16 09:51 Great Malvern to London Paddington due 12:37
09:51 Great Malvern to London Paddington due 12:37 has been reinstated.
It will be started from Reading.
It will no longer call at Great Malvern, Malvern Link, Worcester Foregate Street, Worcester Shrub Hill, Pershore, Evesham, Honeybourne, Moreton-In-Marsh, Kingham, Charlbury, Hanborough and Oxford.
This is due to a fault on this train.

Last Updated:16/12/2017 11:03 Once again, a new use of the word "reinstated". Sounds like the Virgin Trains/Virgin Cross Country use of "re-timed" back when I was at university. As used in a sentence "the 16:00 Virgin trains service to Dundee has been re-timed. This train will now arrive at 17:15". I queried what that meant and realised from the answer that it was just another way of saying the train would be late. No strike or any special weather conditions to speak of to justify this either. |

Winding down towards the Christmas break now and a present from GWR▸ : Facilities on the 14:22 London Paddington to Worcester Foregate Street due 16:44.
This is due to more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time.
Will be formed of 8 coaches instead of 5 between London Paddington and Worcester Foregate Street. and, more predictably: 15:22 London Paddington to Great Malvern due 17:57 will be cancelled.
This is due to a shortage of train crew. with the helpful suggestion: Customers are advised to travel on the next available train service. [2.55pm edit] Seems to be a fluid situation in GWR land as it's now: 15:22 London Paddington to Great Malvern due 17:57 will be started from Reading.
It will no longer call at London Paddington and Slough.
This is due to a shortage of train crew.
Will be formed of 5 coaches. |

I think one or two more 180s have now departed to Grand Central, so that might explain how 5 cars has become 8.

And presumably why: Facilities on the 16:22 London Paddington to Great Malvern due 19:25.
This is due to more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time.
Will be formed of 2 coaches instead of 5. |

Will be formed of 5 coaches. I saw the Class 180 for this service running from Paddington to Reading as ECS▸ . Presumably there was no train manager available from Paddington to work the doors. Took sometime at Reading for someone to open the doors as announcements were being made to please stand clear. Would have saved a lot of disruption if these units could be worked DOO▸ - even only in extremis. |

It would, and we know this will at least be an option on the IETs▸ that are about to replace them. What the unions will have to say about that is a different matter.

I tend to pay less attention to off-peak trains but there are a few holes in today's service: 09:58 Great Malvern to London Paddington due 12:27 will be started from Oxford.
It will no longer call at Great Malvern, Malvern Link, Worcester Foregate Street, Worcester Shrub Hill, Pershore, Evesham, Honeybourne, Moreton-In-Marsh, Kingham, Charlbury and Hanborough.
This is due to a fault on this train. and the earlier down service similarly affected. And: 12:22 London Paddington to Worcester Shrub Hill due 14:49 will be cancelled.
This is due to a shortage of train drivers. and the return 15:21 from Worcester. Still, no short-formations as yet... |

But 19:22 London Paddington to Hereford due 22:53 will be cancelled.
This is due to a shortage of train drivers. This is the first train on which cheap tickets are valid. The next one is an hour later and only goes to Great Malvern. |

19:44 Great Malvern to London Paddington due 22:45
Facilities on the 19:44 Great Malvern to London Paddington due 22:45.

Last Updated:19/12/2017 17:54 Curiously, no mention of the 16:22 Paddington - Great Malvern. |
