The 0645 Penzance - Paddington started 20 mins late today and appears to be dropping a minute or two on each leg of its journey through Cornwall. FGW▸ (First Great Western) Live Updates now shows that this train will not call at Bodmin Parkway "due to a train fault".

I have known trains to miss the stop at Totnes when one power car is poorly. Does the same happen at Bodmin Parkway, or is there an alternative reason for this stop being cancelled?

Eastbound from Bodmin is an uphill start which a poorly hst would struggle with.

Thanks, chaps - done!  Wink

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post - a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London, depending on context) 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.

Hmm.  I was under the impression that 97301 was what kept interrupting my work at Yate yesterday ...  Roll Eyes

As far as i'm aware it was running on 1 power car only, after the rear one got shut down following a problem leaving Penzance.

In the past I remember being told that HSTs▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)) running on one power car were not allowed to work west of either Exeter or Plymouth or is this only in the down direction?

It failed on departure from Penzance, and as Penzance has no spare sets it makes sense to run the train and withdraw the Bodmin and Totnes stops, however the Tiverton, Taunton and Westbury stops were also withdrawn.

Generally I think the rule is to try and swap sets if the train is working on one power car, however it can run beyond Exeter, but it can't stop at Totnes or Bodmin on the up. Neither can it go to Paignton or Newquay.
