Facilities on the 06:28 Cardiff Central to Portsmouth Harbour due 09:53.
Will be formed of 2 coaches instead of 4 between Cardiff Central and Bristol Temple Meads.

... most short forms and some will be decidedly uncomfortable.   There are a few where 2 cars become 3 - I've spotted trains like Newbury Racecourse to Bedwyn (since when did service start back at the Racecourse?)
