Wow, finally some customer service, we thought this am when the 7.01 was reported to be full & standing; customers advised to change platform for a later train for a more comfortable journey.  How we laughed as we watched from a different platform as the 7.01 pulled in with empty seats and no sign of anyone standing.

The slightly earlier non stop Twyford to London train was cancelled this morning so I'm guessing they thought it would be crowded. It was pretty packed on the platform at Twyford but there were more seats available than I expected.

I've noticed the following on journey check the last few days? Anyone know what the problem under investigation is?

19:48 London Paddington to Worcester Shrub Hill due 22:22
19:48 London Paddington to Worcester Shrub Hill due 22:22 will no longer call at Maidenhead.
This is due to a problem currently under investigation.

Is that the one where they're investigating how a 9 car train that's not had its software updated for selective door opening at Maidenhead has come to be rostered on that diagram?

GWR (Great Western Railway) have decided to carry on calling the Oxford there instead until the 2nd December when SDO (Selective Door Opening) will be updated for Maidenhead.

I'll be interested to see if the 19:48 cancellations continue this week. 
I flagged elsewhere about how the 7.06 Maidenhead-->Paddington (which starts from Worcester) was running as a 5 car IET (Intercity Express Train) last week rather than an HST (High Speed Train).  That switch was attributed to the software problem mentioned above.
The HST resumed service this morning (thankfully!!) and so I can only assume that last week's change was due to the Hereford-Worcester engineering work rather than the software problem.
I mention this because I thought that the cars for the 19.48 service to Worcester became the morning service that reaches Maidenhead at 7.06 (??)

After a couple of good weeks with the regular HST (High Speed Train) we are back to the 'not calling at Maidenhead' problem again.

The SDO (Selective Door Opening) database on IET (Intercity Express Train)’s has now been updated, so 9-car one’s should now be able to stop there.

I was on the 19.48 Tuesday (18th) and it stopped at Maidenhead then. There was some announcement about moving forward for people at the back of the train to alight at Maidenhead though.

Interestingly, tonight it's an HST (High Speed Train) with 9 coaches.
