Oh dear, Dawlish a bit on the damp side.

This message is on the GWR web site today. "Due to more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time between Penzance and Plymouth fewer trains are able to run." This appears to be the Penzance - Cardiff HSTs, showing in RTT as cancelled. So if there isn't anything to cover the diagrams...

This is an interesting reason for disruption ...

I'm just looking at RTT for the Exmouth-Paigntons for Wednesday 26th. There don't seem to be any services until mid-morning. Was there something going on, or is it RTT having a 'funny five minutes'? Thanks

In the latest issue of Rail there's an article about handing back 769s. At the end of the article it says "GWR will also have additional Class 387 Electrostar commuter trains spare. They were previously used on the semi-fast Reading to London services that were taken over by TfL Rail's...

Anybody know what this was about? Unless I miscounted it went up with 8 coaches. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K03347/2023-01-10/detailed Two power cars came the other way on Wednesday, so I'm assuming it was the same ones, but without the coaches...

It's all gone a bit quiet on 168329 and modifying the 168 fleet to hybrids. Can anyone update, because I understand the second unit didn't get modified. Thanks

I see many times people saying that an operating company is building new trains because it's cheaper than using existing ones. So I have a couple of questions: Is this actually what's happening? Are new trains being built when perfectly good ones of an appropriate type already exist? Or are...

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but I can't find it. A number of station platforms have canopies for part of their length. But trains often stop at the part of the platform that isn't covered by the canopy. This isn't great for passengers on a rainy day. So I wondered why this is...

According to GWR themselves : https://www.gwr.com/travel-updates/live-network-updates the information says "Due to a shortage of train crew between London Paddington and Plymouth fewer trains are able to run on all lines. Impact: Train services running to and from these stations may be...

At Cheltenham station, the works to enlarge the car park, add a large bike rack and change the entrance have been going on for what seems like years. The new entrance was cut through the perimeter wall ages ago and the bike rack installed, but both seem to be taped up out of use. The extra car...

It looks as though the Dawlish sea wall phase 1 is about to be opened to the public. But it's not complete. Does anybody know when the work is planned to start again? I've heard September, but if that is right, then what date? Thanks

Has everything stopped on the main line through Dawlish. Opentraintimes says nothing moving, and nothing has passed the webcams for a while. Anybody know anything about this?
