'Night Riviera' cancellations

[Ashley Hill]

Not a cancellation, but 1C50 tonight was 70 late from Paddington and with only one seated vehicle. Seated passengers were allowed access to the lounge car. No explanation for the delay given and not mentioned on GWR website/Journeycheck or social media. Back on time by Plymouth.

Flooding between Wootton Bassett and Swindon caused trains to be delayed. Driver for 1C50 delayed by this on way up to Paddington. Down sleeper was right time by Exeter.
Set was noted with only one day coach at Reading the other day.

Of the 3 DSO coaches, 1 at Laira for C6, 1 in use , other had faults but being put back in today at Long Rock. The C6 program has just started so there is potential for a missing coach A or B for some while.

The Stock was late off Reading Depot, then Sleeper Hosts and a few issues when doing their Pre Departure Checks/Prep. Late departure was actually due to waiting the booked TM to arrive into Paddington. They eventually arrived on 1A39. The Booked Driver was already at Paddington as I was talking to him.

Thanks for the correction. Genius showed waiting driver in connection with the flooding.
