Well I got to kew as anticipated - thanks all

I just hate the word *delayed* on the status reports

*delayed* is usually a precursor to cancelled

It used to be, but more often that not it means just a minor delay now.  I think the software was changed to display 'delayed' whenever a train is overdue at a reporting point by even a small amount of time - whereas before I think it was only displayed if it was over 10 minutes late leaving its origin station.

It can be misleading - for example, the 09:27 Paddington to Oxford was showing delayed for the whole journey, but actually left just now only five minutes late.  With pathing allowances/padding etc, it should be back on time by Reading, and certainly at Didcot where it sits for seven minutes!

The 2127 Paddington to Worcester didn't sit at Didcot for 7 minutes. I think it ran forward from platform 1 [down main] to Foxhall and then shunted back to the down relief[platform 3].  The 2127 pulled out of Pad just as I arrived panting at the buffer stops after sprinting up from the tube. Luckily only 10 mins to wait until the 2137 Swansea which I travelled on to Didcot. The Oxford connection unusually arrived in platform 3 from the west, and then  reversed and carried on to Oxford and beyond. I deduce that this was the 2127 Pad = Worcester service.
Both the 2127 Pad = Worc and 2137 Pad = Swansea had refreshment service, with customer hosts announcing their wares over the tannoy, though no hot food on the Swansea as the oven had failed.  I haven't travelled on a Sunday evening for a long time, and was quite surprised at the provision of catering facilities. Also was gripped on the 2137 Pad = Swansea between Pad and reading -- very rare to be gripped on an evening train on weekdays, but then they're usually turbos not HSTs▸ (High Speed Train).

Seeing as this thread was urgent last night but isn't anymore, I've taken the liberty of removing the offending word from the thread title. Wink

Edited to add

Nuts. That didn't work. Oh well, never mind.

Hard luck, inspector_blakey!  Roll Eyes

Never mind - I've now made the final minor adjustment, to complete your improvement.  Wink
