Thanks Jrocks. That now makes sense. While mildly annoying we have to change trains it seems it's for a sensible reason. Thanks all.

Anyone know why the 18:03 Paddington to Penzance involves a change of train on this date? Been booked on it for a couple of months now down to St Austell. No engineering that I know of that night. Seems odd. Direct train would've arrived in at 22:10 normally. Genuinely interested in why a...

Happened to me last Friday around 4:45ish Northbound. I was on the train behind the one 'stuck' in the station. It must happen at least once if not more times a week.

Thanks so much for your reply. 1A88 has just gone through Dawlish. Looking at the Webcams it's 10 cars! Strange one from GWR.. unless 5 cars are locked out.... but then Tiger wouldn't be showing this: Guess it'll just be a pleasent / unpleasent surprise later at Pad!

Hi there, Really sorry if this is completely the wrong place to ask this question… I’m booked on the 18:04 PAD to PLY tonight 1C92. GWR have an train formation update to say it’ll be formed of 5 carriages instead of 10. https://www.journeycheck.com/greatwesternrailway/ They say the same about...

7am, 7:30, 8am, 8:30 pretty well used. The 9am which I usually get is empty. 5 people on average in back carriage. Normally have the back '1/3rd' of carriage to myself. The 2 evening services back from Blackfriars to BKJ are pretty busy. But they are only 6 carriages and 1hr gap between. All of...

Agree, Victoria to Shortlands is very, very busy on a Saturday. Only from 14:28 - 20:58 is the Vic to Orp every 15 mins. Very disappointing that the 15 minute service doesn't continue up to midnight as it did pre-covid. The half hourly service have been getting busier and busier especially in...

Any indication that the Vic - Orp (or Vic - Bms) going back to 4TPH in the off peaks. Especially from 9pm onward?

Double berth presented as a single last night with bedding for the top bunk 'vaccumed packed' under the bottom bunk. Was told by our host that passengars now have to make the bed up themselves. Interest concept.......... Blind also missing from our berth. Replaced with some sort of blackout mesh...

Thanks jimm that is actually helpful to know whether a 10 or 9 is going to turn up. I can then plan to get on the thing slightly quicker if needed. :)

Hi all, This may have been mentioned on a forum or a post somewhere before.... Despite a search I've not found it. Is there anywhere where I can find how many carriages a certain train is going to have on a certain route? I'm specifically looking for Pad - Pnz on Friday afternoons. I'm getting...

mmmmm Looking at the above.. It seems 1C89 :- 1633 London Paddington - Penzance is going to be an HST for my journey in 2 weeks time (last schedule weekday Whiteball tunnel closure) That means that my 1st Class tickets I've pre-booked in coach E (IET) are not going to happen as those seat...

Thanks FGW_DID. That's good to hear.

Will 1C99 start at Paddington tonight? Works in Cornwall mean it's only going as far Plymouth so starting at Reading tonight would mean a pretty short sleep for a those on a sleeper.

This weekend the line is closed between Penzance and Truro so Sunday's 2115 Penzance to London Paddington Night Riviera service will start from Plymouth @ 23.59. A service from Truro @ 21:45 to Plymouth will be running the 'normal' service pattern to connect with it. Real train times has the...

Thanks Clarence Yard. I better get onto GWR and get them to sort me out a reserved seat in A-F then.

Thanks JN114. I assume if it's a old HST my reservation just gets transferred to a different coach number?

Hi there, Prob completely the wrong place for this but here goes..... Does anyone know if the new Class 800 trains are working on the PAD - PNZ route yet? Specifically on the 18:03 Friday night down service next week? I've got a reservation in coach H... Being a regular user I've never seen a...
