Another instance of GWR's abysmal customer service. 165135 heads north at Fiddington on 22 August 2024, not with the 2E69 15:38 Bristol Temple Meads to Worcester Shrub Hill service, but with the 5E69 16:37 Gloucester to Worcester Shrub Hill ECS. The unit had worked the 2E69 as far as Gloucester, where presumably everybody had to get out, and it then became an empty stock working running in exactly the same path. A minute or so after this picture was taken, it would speed straight though Ashchurch station, ignoring any passengers waiting to catch it. Hopeless! |
