Anyone know what the fault was on 1W81 this evening that caused it to depart 35 minutes late? It moved about 4 metres, did an emergency stop then sat down and was detrained.
Having been advised that the 1935 wouldn't run and I should take another train (I ended up on 1L63 to Basingstoke [Salisbury service] then 1B65 to Bournemouth [Poole service, 2005 off Waterloo]) I was rather annoyed to find out later that 1W81 had indeed run, just 35 minutes late, fast to Southampton and had overtaken me at Basingstoke and arrived at Bournemouth around 20 minutes earlier than 1B65!
