In the interests of completeness, we need to record the fact that yesterday's 16:42 Paddington - Malvern was cancelled between Paddington and Oxford due to a points failure. And today's cancellations have started early: 16:22 London Paddington to Great Malvern due 19:26 will be cancelled.
This is due to a shortage of train drivers.

Not on JourneyCheck but the 07:10 Moreton-in-Marsh to Paddington was a three coach Turbo instead of the usual HST▸ . It did join up with another Turbo at Oxford so there were six coaches through to Paddington.

And more: 09:21 London Paddington to Worcester Foregate Street due 11:31 will be terminated at Worcester Shrub Hill.
This is due to a shortage of train crew.

All six were supposed to be IET▸ operated again but no trained drivers available, though the Shrub Hill to Foregate Street cancellation is comparatively minor of course.

It's an ever changing world on the Cotswold Line 15:14 Hereford to London Paddington due 18:29 was terminated at Ledbury.
It will no longer call at Colwall, Great Malvern, Malvern Link, Worcester Foregate Street, Worcester Shrub Hill, Pershore, Evesham, Honeybourne, Moreton-in-Marsh, Kingham, Charlbury, Hanborough, Oxford, Reading, Slough and London Paddington.
This is due to a fault on this train. And some better news 16:22 London Paddington to Great Malvern due 19:26 will be reinstated.
It will be started from Reading.
It will no longer call at London Paddington and Slough.
This is due to a shortage of train drivers.
Will be formed of 2 coaches instead of 10. |

I guess a small detail like having drivers to drive the lovely shiny new trains is a minor detail, and so easily overlooked  |

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.

16:22 London Paddington to Great Malvern due 19:26
16:22 London Paddington to Great Malvern due 19:26 will no longer call at Combe and Finstock.
This is due to more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time.
Will be formed of 3 coaches instead of 8. First class reduced. Catering is not available.
Toilet facilities are reduced.
..............having been taking the p*** out of Cotswold Line customers for months, GWR▸ have now decided to prevent them doing it themselves.

Facilities on the 16:22 London Paddington to Great Malvern due 19:26.
This is due to a shortage of train crew.
Will be formed of 2 coaches instead of 5. First class not available. Catering is not available. There are no reservations on this service. Toilet facilities are reduced.
Facilities on the 19:42 Great Malvern to London Paddington due 22:31.
This is due to a shortage of train crew.
Will be formed of 2 coaches instead of 5. First class not available. Catering is not available. There are no reservations on this service. Toilet facilities are not available.
The GWR▸ crystal ball has a new capability - it can predict that the reduced toilet facilities will fail at Great Malvern about 19:30. |

Are GWR turning the Cotswold Line into some sort of "Endurance" style gameshow? First they start cancelling all the trains, then they run them again but hugely short formed and/or starting/finishing short, then there's no food, now there's no toilets...............what's next I wonder, no seats or windows? Does the last customer standing get a free season ticket and night out with Mark Hopwood? |

This service has been a Turbo all week - three coaches from Moreton-in-Marsh and a further three from Oxford. It's not been showing as a short-formation on JourneyCheck which suggests it's a planned short-formation rather than an on-the-day expediency. |
