13:50 London Paddington to Great Malvern due 16:15 will be terminated at Worcester Foregate Street.
It has been delayed between Reading and Oxford and is now 14 minutes late.
This is due to a fault with the signalling system.

It would be very interesting to know what suggested availability of these IEP▸ (Intercity Express Program / Project.) units was, at the time of acquisition, compared to what is achieved.  It looks as if there is an extremely thin amount of cover for failed units.  In a lot of cases, it seems to me, no cover at all.  A breakdown means a cancelled diagram, and that's that.  And to hell with the passengers' plans

That answer is public - held within the contract for IETs▸ (Intercity Express Train) by GWR▸ (Great Western Railway). There is a specified number of units on standby to cover failed units, and I can't remember the number  but I recall that they are in low single digit numbers per day,

There are other hints at the tightness - such as the suspension of the Bristol - Oxford Saturday trial in the summer while an IET▸ (Intercity Express Train) is going to Newquay.  As the new(*) 175 units enter service, it will be very interesting(*) to see whether / how much they are used to relieve the tension on the IET fleet, how much they are used to relieve the tension on other fleets such as the 158s, and how much they are used to displace the other very oldest trans on the fleet rather than adding any extra robustness into the fleet.

Seems GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) were making up for earlier cancellations.



I'm imagining what the Journey Check message would have said?

"Facilities on the 1518 Worcester Foregate to London Paddington due 1729. This train will be formed of 18 coaches instead of 9. We apologise for any inconvenience." Grin

07:43 Great Malvern to London Paddington due 10:26 will be cancelled.
This is due to a shortage of train crew.
