What set's being pinched to form that then?  Not the 15:51 PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains)-WOS» (Worcester Shrub Hill - next trains) set I hope...

Spare I would assume, hence why the 1551 is often being turbo'd. Set then returns ECS▸ (Empty Coaching Stock) back to Old Oak!

So all roads (or rails) lead to Exeter on a Friday afternoon, as FGW▸ (First Great Western) also run a 1520FO Westbury to Exeter which arrives at 1701, 6 minutes ahead of the new service from Paddington.

It's a shame that at Castle Cary, the 1436 from Paddington arrives 6 minutes after the 1609 train to Weymouth; it would be a nice little connection if the 1609 was allowed to depart at say 1619. (From Dorchester to Weymouth, it would have to slip in behind the 1435 from Waterloo but could turn around in time to depart again at 1730 back to Bristol.
