I should have made it clear in that it was the return working that I made a note of.

I had 153353 on the Cardiff Bay shuttle on Monday later on the 22:12 ex CDQ.

As I said "If I remember correctly" but obviously I didn't . It was a 153 though.

I'll try and read yours later 03 179, not enough time before I head to work to do so sadly.

Two from me for yesterday as I ended up at the station briefly due to a farce of my own making with not getting money out for the bus. Realising it only a few minutes before the intended bus with no ATMs around wasn't helpful :lol:

Oh god. I was on the same service two weeks before this and it was formed of 150219. Full and standing leaving Westbury with more cramming on at Trowbridge, then Bradford-On-Avon - There wasn't a big event on then IIRC just people heading to Bath/Bristol for nights out. 150219 and other refurbished 150/2s not the best unit for crowding due to many seats being removed for the wheelchair accessible toilet. (More space to stand, but fewer seats so people block access to the toilet) But obviously better than the service being cancelled throughout.

The week before last, a single 153 worked a Portsmouth - Cardiff service (but started from Westbury) and back again as far as Bristol. Not ideal...

Yikes! Well my mother and father got off the train and made a 'kill us both now' gesture! They are two of the most laid back people in the world but even that shocked them! I boarded the train after and took pictures of it and complained to GWR, as whilst it is better than no service at all, it was diabolical. I had to ask the platform dispatcher at Cardiff to wait until I'd finished taking pictures before he could sent it out to reverse.

Things seem to be at breaking point at GWR West at the moment with units developing faults or sent off to be refurbished. Every day peak time services are short formed. The 16.40 Gloucester - Weymouth has been 2 cars every day this week, and every day people have been left behind at Bristol or Bath. Morning northbound trains are the same. Today the 07:24 train from Trowbridge was formed of just 2 (vice 4) coaches and stops at Oldfield and Keynsham cancelled. Next train (7:44) formed of 2 car 150/1 instead of 3 car 158 - I can't imagine what the crowding was like. Wouldn't have surprised me if the 08:00 was 3 instead of 4 and the 8:23 2 instead of 4 as that also happens often.
