GWR▸ Journeycheck says that the 2349 Padd - Penzance tonight is not calling at Bodmin Parkway or Par tonight because of slippery rails. Par I can understand because of the following climb to Burngullow (although they seem to be OK with St Austell), but Bodmin Parkway? It's downhill for about 4 miles after that so no problem restarting.
You'd be worried if they thought the train might slide through!

I think you'll find that was last night. The appearance in Journey Check does happen sometimes in the case of an overnight train running from one day into the next |

Current entry seems to apply to the night of 29/30: 29/10/18 23:49 London Paddington to Penzance due 07:55 will no longer call at Bodmin Parkway and Par.
This is due to slippery rails.

The Golden Hind (05:05 Penzance to London Paddington) has been struggling to get up the bank after Bodmin Parkway for the last hour after the rear power car failed.

Looking at Journeycheck and RTT» you've got a queue of trains backing up to Penzance behind the 5.05 which doesn't appear to be going anywhere

UPDATE: The 5.05 isn't going any further: 05:05 Penzance to London Paddington due 10:02 was terminated at Bodmin Parkway.
It will no longer call at Liskeard, Plymouth, Newton Abbot, Exeter St Davids, Taunton, Reading and London Paddington.
This is due to slippery rails. |

Some initial progress up Largin Bank but the Hind isn't going to make it. Train going back to Bodmin Parkway to offload passengers and thence to Lostwithiel to languish in the goods loop.

Going to be interesting to see how the 802s cope with slippery rails.

Although not as bad as today, early morning trains have been struggling getting out of Cornwall for the last few days due to adhesion problems. There don't seem to be any reports of Network Rail sending staff out ahead of time to check rail conditions at known problem areas and putting sand or gel on the rails ahead of the first services if necessary.
