The 07:00 train from Chippenham to Paddington was delayed by 25 minutes this morning because of a lack of train crew - apparently the relief guard didn't turn up at BTM this morning, so another chap who was supposed to be going to Paddington on a shunting course today instead rushed home to get his stuff, came back and stood in for him so the train could get away. Just in case anyone knows the bloke concerned: huge thanks from me and I am sure a number of other passengers for inconveniencing yourself so that we could get to work on time.

There's scheduled to be half an hour between trains from Chippenham. If FGW want to try and claim 30 minutes is actually the same as 18 minutes that's fine by me; just don't expect me to be taken in by it.
