  It was late because a freight train had failed in its path earlier - not much FGW could have done about that. Its funny that when a train is an hour late it hits the news about the delays to rail travellers. The sad accident on the M40 today closed the mortorway for 10 hours but not a mention about the much longer delays to road users.

  No not much FGW could have done about the initial dealy but that did not mean they could not have stopped the train at the stations where their passengers had been waiting a very long time - and this train finally left Worcester when the next service was supposed to depart, delaying that one and making the wait many endured even longer, as this one sailed straight past - and as the story says, the resulting gap in trains calling at those stations was over two hours, not one.
  
  McVey, when you don't know what happened, just don't bother posting stuff. There was no road transport as no-one at FGW and Network Rail towers would make up their mind and authorise staff to arrange any taxis or coaches"
