Tonight's westbound sleeper will start from Reading rather than London Paddington due to a shortage of staff.

Just arrived at Paddington - 06:30, which is 86 minutes late and a substantial delay/repay claim for all the passengers on board who will be hugely inconvenienced by this late arrival in the capital. |

At least they announced it early so people could try and make other arrangements. |

57605 failed at Exeter with last night's Padd - Penz sleeper, passengers moved on to a 158+150 combo for their onward journey.... ECS▸ awaiting rescue from 57603 which is currently en route to Exe and will then form this service to Longrock (not sure if it will drag 57605 too?) https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:49658/2025-01-16/detailed |

Thanks Mark - that was a very illuminating article.
One thing that surprised me was the comments about the noise problem with the diesel engines on the class 68s. I would have expected standards of noise suppression to have improved over the years. It also seems clear that class 68s will not be the apparently obvious solution to the traction future of the Night Riviera I assumed it might be. Would anyone be prepared to provide funds for a bespoke 6-axle solution? Sounds doubtful.

It surprised me too, & they've generated complaints elsewhere for being generally terrible neighbours. Also, yes, you'd expect things to have improved, especially given that it's a loco. Which reminds me to take a photo of that 'Shut down engines' notice west of Bath Spa station if it's still there. Mark |

A real beauty! They'll regret sleeping through it, although there isn't much to look at in the dark. |
