15 cars on Swansea train

[lawried123]

Just noticed tonight (Wednesday 5th June) that the 2249 Paddington to Swansea was shown in RTT as 15 cars, comprised of 3 x 5 car sets. Wasn't aware that any platforms at Paddington can take 15 cars or that you could have three sets coupled together
Can we safely assume that this was a mistake in RTT

Yes. Obviously our domestic network is not capable of running with 390m length trains - although it would certainly solve the overcrowding issues across the country!

Except on HS1, though obviously that doesn't apply to the OP example.

Would have been interesting at Swansea where 10 cars only just fit!

Or the fact that 15 do not fit in Paddington, it seems to happen when there is a set swap for some reason but seems to be showing up a lot more recently

This will have been an error in the data feed that RTT uses - it comes up on the forum from time to time. There is nothing to see here.
