Flying Scotsman services were due to run today. That's going to be a lot of disappointed folk.
I do hate it when companies say 'operational issues' without explaining further.

"Shortage of train crew"? "More trains than usual needing repair"?
Or "concern at all the people lineside watching the Flying Scotsman that they'll get in the way of all the other trains ..."

On Scotsman days it's ONLY those special services running. There's no 'normal' public timetable.

Looking at the WSR timetable it seems that the only services booked to run today and tomorrow are those hauled by Flying Scotsman.
So they are just cancelling all services apart from the Flying Scotsman?

Their guard's explaination to me when I enquired about the interrupted start at Bishops Lydeard station - twice. Being a qualified train dispatcher and trainee guard my professional curiosity caused me to seek a more informed reply than the first offering.
