The 07:10 from Bristol to Paddington is ALWAYS cancelled - or so it seems.  Does anyone have any figures for it?

But, seriously, I can forgive a few landslips, inclement weathers, wrong type of snow, type incidents.  Let's hope everyone is well informed of cahnges and gets to their destinations to day in reasonable time, and without too much standing and discomfort.
