Just travelling back from Newport to Paddington (timetabled to leave at 1632 and arrive at 18:47). This takes 46mins more than the train in the opposite direction yesterday. I cannot figure out why. Route seems to be the same except train additionally stopped at Didcot Parkway. I know trains sometimes run slower on a Sunday but this is getting on for 50% slower than the outward journey! Any ideas why? Thanks

This thread has reminded me, I booked South Wales to London for early 27 Dec and the train is timetabled to arrive Marylebone not Paddington. Is PAD closed and will it be a HST service all the way into Marylebone? I have been travelling from South Wales to London for 30 years and never experienced a service terminating at Marylebone but looking forward to it!

Information re GWR going to Marylebone has already been posted. Rather a lengthy thread, but if you start at Page 2, you should find some info. The link to the thread is:-
