What's that, may cause problems. Angry

It was a bit of a mess by the time anything arrived in Trowbridge 25 min late.

This was the problem earlier at Oldfield today...

I arrived at Trowbridge for the 07.58 which arrived just before the 08.23 from Weymouth. Fortunately the Pompey train had 4 coaches, 1 x 158 plus a 150 in new colours. Thinking this was going to take all the pressure off the following train I decided to wait 2 min till the Weymouth train came in. (also in new vinyls)

Hate to think what that was like on the run into Bristol taking both train loads. Also believe it was pulled at Bristol like the earlier Cardiff train and everyone for onward stations had to catch other trains.

Doesn't get any better does it.
