The Cathedrals Express 21.7.2018 - any idea what happened?

went to see it on the way up to poole, was about 10/15 minutes late, then i go to see it on the return journey and its on the opposite line going back up in the poole direction again, checked real time trains and it says it was cancelled between poole and bournemouth on the return journey due to a problem under investigation (OZ) ? if its going back up in the poole direction now, is it coming back down again or taking a different route on the way back to london?

few photos

It was overlength for the intended stabling point at Poole.

ok thanks, how come on the "way back down to london" it was going back up in the poole direction tho

Wonder who c@cked up there! Did NR not know the length of one of their own sidings!

I was speaking to the driver of the assisting 47 when it arrived at Eastleigh who stated NR would not allow the train into Poole as too long. I did not push for more info as they seemed not happy, but wonder if the length of the consist including the additional 47 was not taken into account at the time of initial planning?
