Good point; I'm not sure how long before 0650 the line was closed
north of Paddington.

Don't forget they also have a depot at London Road south of E&C so
there shouldn't have been a shortage of trains even if it was cut off
north of paddington.


Like I said, not meaning to rant, and, unlike Boltar, I don't think
it's sheer bloody mindedness on the part of the staff. Just trying to
understand it all.

Its not bloody mindedness , they simply don't care. How hard would it
have been for the driver to make a tannoy announcement even if its
only to apologise that he has no info and suggest taking an
alternative route because the journey might take a long time? Not hard
at all. But he didn't, which says it all really.
