Just as bad today, 5 consecutive Westbound trains are cancelled, leaving a 45-minute gap from Stratford from 1321 to 1406, not bad for a service that should run every 7-8 mins.
The booked time for 5F82 onto XEP is 0039 normally.
The 4 7-car diagrams are booked to drop into the next diagram normally, but it is still only booked 3 hours 35 mins down time.

The service is very infrequent as only Platforms 1 & 4 at Baker Street are being utilized for turnround. It's times like this when the option to turn back from Platform 3 could have proven advantageous and would alleviate some of the pressures, however I don't know why Platform 2 is not being...
No, its just that there are far more Holyhead/Chester services than West Midlands.

All the Sunday diagrams are booked to be 4 cars only, however today all the spare stock at Chingford is being used to double up, but with 6 units booked to stable at Ilford Depot over the weekend a few of the diagrams will be 4 car only. Most will be 8.
In addtion to the TM being assualted (as mentioned by Bungle965) The train (390122) was also damaged before working 0910 EUS-BHM which is why the return working was cancelled. So the reason mentioned for the cancellation was correct.
None of these change over at FPK as the PBO driver works through:
