Well spotted, it certainly did and the passengers had a bit further to walk. Strangely enough back in the 80s I was on a 3 car dmu and it forgot to stop at this station on this same platform. The brakes were applied very suddenly and you could feel all the fatigue creaking in this clapped out old unit. Unfortunately it just passed the AWS ramp when it stopped and the train had to continue to Bath Spa. Fortunately I didn't have long to wait before a train calling at Oldfield Park arrived on the opposite platform.
Great to see the trains making progress in the cold conditions between last year and this year
There were a few delays and cancellations in this period but this was due to a shortage of train crews rather than being weather related.
0:36 I thought that Thames turbo unit overshot the platform
