Cathedrals Express 05th Sept

Post by dwight »

Did anyone catch the Cathedrals yesterday ? - I know it got to Bristol but waited for half an hour in Bath for the return around 6pm and no show - was there a problem with Tangmere?

The National Presevation forum has had a number of posters claiming that there was a problem with points or a SPAD, which delayed the train by 70 minutes. Can anyone confirm if this is correct? There are some good pictures of the train posted by some of that site's posters.

More sources reported a points failure than a SPAD. I think the latter was duff gen as the same driver took Tangmere both in and out of Bristol.
