Running a staggering 68 minutes late, 800029 Christopher Dando passes through Ascott-under-Wychwood station on 19 July 2024 with the 1W30 15:23 Paddington to Worcester Foregate Street GWR service, which due to this late running, was terminated at Worcester Shrub Hill. Whilst the delay of over an hour is thankfully reasonably uncommon, Cotswold Line punctuality is terrible. Every day there are delays, with late running and cancellations commonplace. To prove the point, the following train, the 1W31 15:52 Paddington to Great Malvern was cancelled!
