Doesn't clash with anything I have planned......

story of my life...

Thanks Mike - that's really helpful Chris

Does anyone know if 387s are operating west of Swindon?

Situation normal IMHO....

Our collective capacity for irrelevance is truly astounding....

or seven...apparently....and I'm worrying about a second DRS Class 20....

Maybe we need a thread for the speculation and another one for reports etc on how the service is responding and what stand ins or contingencies etc are planned or in use?

Only 1 today - 800009

I did indeed notice...John Charles was in the forward position..

Swindon today saw 2 5-car IETs and 387s plus XC shuttles..

You should see someone about that....

Why am I not surprised....

Contingency plans are emerging....

Don't encourage him...

014 is in there somewhere....as far as I could tell it was cancelled at Newport and ran to BPW empty before retreating to Stoke Gifford. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/24256/2021-05-10/detailed

Today at Bristol Parkway...

I believe this to be the case...

You're such a disappointment...

Fingers crossed for this one...I have a provisional invite to Thornbury at the Chantry in November..I hope both happen...

and in vaguely relevant other news...4 91s went to Newport Simms today..

XC stand ins...Paignton extended to Swindon, HST BTM- Swindon shuttle.

1L18 was stopped at BPW - I also think it was 014

41117 44047 42100 42220 41063 today at Bristol...
