800011, GW 08.50 London Paddington-Great Malvern (cancelled from Worcester Foregate Street, 1W17, 45L), Godstow bridge
Was the slow speed of the 08.50 Paddington to Great
Malvern passing Gostow bridge north of Oxford a portent of things to come on its journey ahead? Its progress along the Cotswold line did not get any better to the point when it arrived in Worcester some forty-five minutes late it was promptly cancelled. I don't think that there was a problem with IET 800011 as we saw it later in the day heading back towards London.
