Title: Extra train, 2nd March, Swindon to Salisbury and back Post by: grahame on February 23, 2017, 06:58:50 10:06 from Swindon (153 - carriage off 09:04 arrival from Gloucester via Bristol Temple Meads)
11:27 return at 11:27 from Salisbury 13:32 empty to Bristol Planned visit by VIP group Noting use of platform 3 at Salisbury. Thought that 153s were banned from that platform?

Which is ironic when the real time trains pages based on Network Rail's data feed has it to platform 3. Is it the whole platform that can't be used for a 153, or just one end?
