Brand new 800030 leaves Honeybourne station on 24 February 2018 with the 1P40 09:45 Great Malvern to Paddington GWR service. Like a lot of Cotswold Line services in early 2018, this train actually started from Worcester Shrub Hill. The Great Malvern to Worcester section of the line is seeing an appalling level of services, with numerous trains cancelled. The line as a whole has seen a massive nose dive in reliability, despite the introduction of these new trains. On this day however, there were 'only' three complete cancellations!
