I didn't see the morning run so can't advise on that, but it was on time or perhaps a couple of minutes early between Backwell and Flax Bourton on the return run.

It went in to the loop at Yatton on the return leg presumably having been in the way of X Country service.

Tornado has been withdrawn from service.

It might mean cancellation of some of The Torbay Runs in July.
