Thursday 1st February

17:04 failed at Bristol Temple Meads. We waited at platform 9 for the replacement but it whizzed by and stopped at platform 8 causing much confusion as herds of desperate passengers pursued it down the platform. It was only 2 carriages so I gave up and waited for the 17:22. Since it arrived unannounced at the end of platform 11 behind the failed 17:04 we all had to tramp en masse down platform 11 looking for it.
