Martin Gosney on SWRG spotted this gem:

07:10 Bristol Temple Meads to London Paddington due 08:56
This train has been cancelled. This is due to a shortage or serviceable
trains.
Customers are advised to travel forwards on the 0710 Bristol TM to Paddington,
which will stop additionally at Didcot Parkway.

More First fun today in the SW with two seperate HST power-car failures, and a third HST transferred its passengers to an existing Adelante service after setting off a Hot Axlebox Detector...bet that was cosy!

Meanwhile, if Alison is watching, 3 steam engines on two tours ran like clockwork.
