Yes, Chris, I actually had the rare misfortune of having to catch this service on Tuesday, when it was a 2 car unit. It just reinforced my newly held view that I should not bother catching a service from Swindon that means changing at Temple Meads.

Have to say I didn't notice anyone being left behind, but fortunately I was one of the first on by virtue of where the unit pulled up.
