That's quite a delay even for GWR.

Huh, I didn't know Gwar had a train company.

……….. it pretty much is run by gwar tbh. iirc the line between London Marylebone and bath spa is the most expensive rail journey per mile in Europe. Something like that. It’s overpriced anyway, and they’re always cancelling trains with weak excuses eg ‘couldn’t remember the driver’s phone number’, ‘train doesn’t like getting wet and it’s raining slightly’, or my favourite ‘we can’t remember where we put the right spanner so this train is still attached to the last one uwu’

It's actually run by the Gwar/G'n'R mashup tribute band from Castle Cay called G'w'R, understandable confusion
