07:40 Paignton to London Paddington due 11:38
This train will be formed of 2 coaches instead of 8 between Paignton and Bristol Temple Meads.This is due to an earlier train fault.
That's gotta be interesting - sounds like it might be a tight squeeze/standing room only as it calls at Torquay, Newton Abbot, Teignmouth, Dawlish, Exeter St David's and Taunton before going on to Bristol! Would they really run an HST▸ set with two carriages? |

Oh I'm not taking it. I was just looking to see if my train from Acton to Paddington was running (& it is cos I've just got off it!) and came across that on the FGW▸ website so thought I'd ask about it. So I'm guessing the HST▸ set would take over at BTM▸ ?

I think I've found where they've got the unit from ... 06:34 Paignton to Exmouth due 08:18
This train will be formed of 2 coaches instead of 4.This is due to an earlier train fault.

It used to empty out at Newton Abbot as people with to a faster XC▸ service. Cramped until then though.

Not the first time this has happened, and always good to see the faces of those on platform 5 when a 2 car 142 rolls in with London Paddington on the front... Good old 142s save the day  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Believe 1A12 PGN - PAD» is one of the first HSTs▸ to be cancelled in the event of shortage of HSTs at Laira as its not that important as it takes a year to get to London on it. However, after Bristol it is normally rammed.

No problem, easy mistake to make.
For interests sake, it was a 2 car 143 that worked this today.
