Thinks to one self,diversion by Westbury? Nope, passed straight through Chippenham Swindon and Didcot,not sure why these calling points were removed. Odd one - real time trains shows that it is scheduled to make those calls, and yet it passed through. Perhaps it was crowded and skipped stations to drop intermediate traffic? Was there in issue with staff such that onboard crew were not passed to make those calls? Something to do with Remeberance bearing in mind it was on the long none-stop run at 11 a.m.?
