FGW Sleepers: hmm.......

[455driver]

I dont know, I just drive trains for a living, decisions like that are made by office based staff that never have to put up with the aftermath of their decisions!

That Path was probs cancelled and retimed into the earlier one as I heard they had the option of running either of them...

There is no other train showing and no arrivals into paddington until the 0900 (0553 off plymouth), I am not saying it didnt run and the fact it isnt in the system doesnt mean much either, so there you go it ran in a schedule that was not put in the system.

It definitely ran to this schedule as far as Exeter.

 

[TEW]

Neither the up nor the down schedules for the sleepers were put in the system last night, but they did both run.

Indeed, my only source of information when going out to catch it was a notice on Journeycheck. No mention on LDBs, and the auto-announcements at Totnes hadn't picked up on what train it was, as it would normally say that it was the NR. Left Totnes about 11 down at 23:43.
