Noted on journeycheck delays southbound. Wednesday 8th February.
1F01 (0500 Bristol to Portsmouth) had hiccups, and failed at Romsey.
https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:G36880/2023-02-08/detailed
In doing so, it delayed the following 0555 Bristol to Portsmouth.
https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:G36882/2023-02-08/detailed
Taken a screenshot of the ex 1F01 (now 5F01) hotfooting it back to somewhere, but there's also unknown 1Z99 going the other way.

Just out of interest, our daughter was on the 1025 Bath to Southampton on Sunday.
It wasn't happy, and was 5 down at Bath, so it was announced they'd pull in to a layby, uncouple and recouple.
That didn't work, and an engineer arrived, who went up and down the train looking very unhappy..
They arrived at Southampton exactly 60 minutes late, and that service terminated there.
Remaining passengers transferred to the following train, also very late, which was running right behind the failing unit.

(Edit to clarify todays date.
Also how to post a screenshot please?)

One way is to upload the image to 'Postimage', grab the link, paste it here, select the image link, and then use the coffeeshop's 'Image' icon to add the code

(Thanks to the person who explained this to me.)
