GWR Disruption

[MerlinRail 804]

Travelling on the 1029 from Reading as far as Plymouth today, and I’ve noticed there’s some disruption around Taunton. The GWR website says it will run, but I’m slightly concerned that the train booked to form it is currently stuck at Taunton waiting to form the 0905 to Paignton.
Is my train likely to be cancelled or will they manage to find a unit for it somewhere?

The inbound working (1J72) has terminated at Taunton. Genius has removed the allocation so I expect another set may come from North Pole for your 1C76.

Person Hit by Train just North of Taunton, happened around 0655 this morning.

As for unit availability, they may use another unit from a previously cancelled service to form your service (They also may have a spare unit at North Pole they could use).

That decision will likely be made once a more clear picture is known of when exactly the line will reopen

The 0934 from Paddington is cancelled, so mines next on the hitlist if nothing else changes

Just checked again, got a set swap, train is at Paddington!
Thanks both of you.
