I am slightly confused by the accuracy of FGW's service updates.
Yesterday, a colleague from work went to catch the 1757 from Dorking West to Guildford; shortly afterwards, she phoned to say that the train had been cancelled. According to FGW, this train had "no report" next to it and no mention of a cancellation.
This morning, whilst looking at the Paddington arrivals, the 0856 arrival there from Bristol (the 0710?) was showing as "cancelled"; yet there was no mention of this according to the Service Update.
So as usual, maybe all this information should not be relied upon!

Steve, comparing the situation 'on the ground' with the various information feeds, I too have observed errors bothe ways - trains described as being cancelled that have, never the less, turned up ... and trains showing "no report" that simply fall off the radar and never show. I've concluded that at times when only a few services are disrupted it's fairly accurate but it gets to be less and less useful at times of extreme chaos. "No report *" (that's with a "*) tends to mean "We don't know - we've lost this train"  |
