Black Diamond stopping service

[sawyl]

Had a grim journey from Exeter to Coventry. The train was so busy that at Temple Meads, the train crew tried to persuade people to switch to a direct bus to New Street. Then, when not enough people got off, they announced that the train wouldn't be stopping at Parkway or Cheltenham, which seemed to do the trick because the train set off shortly afterwards. Then, pretty much as soon as the train had cleared the platforms, they announced that the were actually going to stop at Parkway and Cheltenham after all... Talk about cheeky.
