17:36 Swindon to Westbury due 18:20
18:34 Westbury to Swindon due 19:21
20:45 Swindon to Westbury due 21:26
20:45 Swindon to Westbury due 21:26 will be cancelled.
This is due to heavy rain flooding the railway. If the flooding is between Chippenham and Swindon, why isn't a shuttle running between Westbury and Chippenham like it did last Sunday? |

You could also ask why there is no shuttle service between Bristol and Chippenham? There must be an unreported issue between Bath and Chippenham as to why no services can run between these two stations and the Transwilts running between Westbury and Chippenham. |

Depends what you mean by unannounced. There is flooding in at least two places on that route, but it didn't lead to any specific announcement since the trains it blocked weren't running anyway due to flooding elsewhere. |

It has reached Swindon and is now forming 2M30, the 17:35 Swindon-Westbury. I wish I knew what the train describers and announcements at Swindon said - the TIGER feed for Swindon didn't show this train as reinstated until the last moment.

Was the Penalty Fares poster up to date with new Penalty though?
It was current - I have just established that penalty fares go up on 23rd according to LNWR▸ From 23/01, Penalty Fares in England are increasing to £100, plus the price of the full single fare applicable to the intended destination.
Buy tickets via our website, ticket offices, ticket vending machines, or our app. A specific date in January that I had not previously been aware of - just knew the month. |
