FGW seems to have a special timetable evry Sunday. Currently (until 22
July)
Sunday long distance departures from Paddington a
xx07 Bristol TM
xx12 Cheltenham (even hours 1212 - 1812)
xx27 Swansea

Interesting. My train, the xx27 was the Temple Meads service (the 1727
which actually left was supposed to be for Weston-super-Mare, but was
terminated at Temple Meads with a transfer to local services.

We stopped at Slough, Twyford, Reading, Didcot P/way, Swindon,
Chippenham, Bath Spa & Bristol Temple Meads. It was announced as
"possibly" stopping Nailsea/Backwell & Yatton, but didn't get past Temple
M.

On Sunday Swansea trains were booked via Gloucester in the morning, and via
Bath, not calling between Swindon and an extra stop at Patchway, in the
afternoon. By the time of your train I suspect the destination of a
departure from Paddington depended as much upon the availability of a crew
as to any intention of the timetable.
