Unless I am missing something (due to exhaustion!), this is our standard wording on CIS▸ (Customer Information System) for 2+7 sets not on booked diagram. The trolley should be in Carriage A, but we don't advertise that because sometimes it actually uses its wheels and goes up and down  the Standard Class coaches!

Wrong.....the train never reaches foregate street - it terminates at shrub from the 1751 PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains) to WOS» (Worcester Shrub Hill - next trains) service, pulls into the sidings by the platform and then forms the 20:59 back - starting from shrub.

I know - I once got back as far as evesham, got a call saying - can yo be here for 7am tomorrow we have a major problem - so got of at WOS and got back on again after the 1822 Hereford went through.

Those were the Adelante days and I didnt have a new Mac so my laptop battery suffered on the way back.....

Yes terminates st Shrub Hill then shunts out of the way before going to Foregate Street and starting back to London from there.  AIUI▸ ('as I understand it') it cant go to forgate street as there is nowhere to put it before returning.

Since well before that I think. Nearly always leaves Foregate about 5 minutes late before trundling towards Evesham recovering the time.

Hmph

The times I have used it since then (4-5 to my recogning) I must have just been unlucky and it started short at Shrub Hill hence my assumption it still started there.

It could go to Henwick - but then the turnround time would be very - probably too - tight for an HST▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)) and if the 18.22 to Hereford was late, then the stock from the 17.50 would be stuck at Henwick waiting for the 18.22 to clear the single line from Shrub Hill, so this odd arrangement is what results.

Maybe a post-Cotswold redoubling timetable will be able to assist matters but with the layout at Worcester playing a part in all this, who knows?
