Fareham 1147 1149 Southampton Central 1210 1215 Romsey 1221 1227 Dean 1228 1239 Salisbury 1241 1252 Warminster 1301 1313 Westbury 1308 1320 Trowbridge 1314 1326 Bradford-on-Avon 1320 No report Bath Spa 1335 1344 Bristol Temple Meads 1354 1358 Filton Abbey Wood 1401 1406 Newport (South Wales) 1426 1428 Until December 2006, TransWilts services except the last one of the day carried on to Southampton, serving Dean and Dunbridge. Since December 2007, FGW have operated (but not served) those stations ... interesting to see that they have been doing so today, and that the Portsmouth / Cardiff service that was 2 minutes late at Fareham was still just tow minutes late at Newport, in spite of what looks like a holdup at Dean (in reallity, signalling problems in that area).

All seemed to be fine, and it's nice to see the extra station stops didn't cause much of a delay by the end of the journey.
