Another instance the poor GWR travelling experience. On 26 January 2024 the 1J74 06:37 Plymouth to Paddington GWR service was cancelled, and replaced by the 3J74 ECS, running in exactly the same path. Extended stops were made at Taunton, Westbury and Reading, to keep it to time, as it missed out all the other stops! Passenger less 802101 Nancy Astor is pictured running alongside the Kennet & Avon Canal near Crofton. Pity the poor passengers at the stations where their train just passed through non-stop!
