How are things fairing for the London Paddington - Bristol Temple Meads section?

Very sensible.

Just earlier this morning, I was asking about number of passengers carried between Chippenham and Trowbridge on diverted trains ... we had quite a few of them over the weekend, and then (this morning) this train - probably with a good few hundred  ;)
