11:10 Weston-Super-Mare to Severn Beach due 12:23
11:10 Weston-Super-Mare to Severn Beach due 12:23 will be started from Bristol Temple Meads.
It will no longer call at Weston-Super-Mare, Weston Milton, Worle, Yatton, Nailsea & Backwell, Parson Street and Bedminster.
This is due to a fault with the electric third rail earlier today.

The stabiliser rail always causes problems.

At a guess the set was pinched to restart a Pompey Cardiff at the Temple Meads of Doom.

Yes, that third rail at Nailsea & Backwell has always been a bit of an issue ...

Absolute fare dodger if I’ve ever seen one.

Not the first time a seagull has travelled on a train of course:

An old joke about one of the books allegedly written by W E Johns - 'Biggles flies undone'.
