Description
In today’s video we catch the iconic Great Western Railway Night Riviera Sleeper at London Paddington, as it heads west working empty coaching stock to Reading Traincare Depot after its morning arrival.

We also take a look at the major landslip near Worcester Tunnel Junction, which is currently causing significant disruption to services between Hereford - Birmingham New Street and some London Paddington trains too. The scale of the earth movement is impressive — and the impact on operations is substantial, with cancellations, diversions and delays across the route.

A fascinating look at both ends of Great Western operations — from prestigious sleeper stock moves to real-time infrastructure challenges affecting the main line.
