Title: 18:45 Swindon to Westbury cancelled ... Post by: grahame on December 08, 2009, 18:19:55 OK ... it's pretty much a cancellation as far as the TransWilts is concerned :-[
Quote 17:02 Worcester Foregate Street to Southampton Central due 20:48 This train has been terminated at Worcester Shrub Hill and restarted from Westbury at 19:40.It will no longer call at: Ashchurch For Tewkesbury, Cheltenham Spa, Gloucester, Stonehouse, Stroud, Kemble, Swindon, Chippenham, Melksham and Trowbridge.This is due to a train fault. Last Updated: 08/12/2009 17:14 But to be fair, this is much rarer than it used to be. Glad I'm not waiting at the station; when I was last up there the information point was 'out' again so anyone waiting will have a LONG wait! Title: Re: 18:45 Swindon to Westbury cancelled ...

Quote 20091209 17:02 Worcester Foregate Street 20:48 Southampton Central rolling stock issues, knock-on effect Full report: "This train will be formed of 1 coach instead of 2 between Gloucester and Westbury.This is due to an earlier train fault. Last Updated: 09/12/2009 15:36 " Are 'they' dropping a 153 at Gloucester for some reason, then? From Swindon, the 1 car will be fine; a quarter to seven p.m. train is long after most people have gone home for the day, so they'll all have used their cars already ;) Title: Re: 18:45 Swindon to Westbury cancelled ...

Last Updated: 10/12/2009 06:38 " I don't normally report / notice short trains, but when only 2 northbound and 2 southbound run each day, you tend to notice cancellations / shorter trains on three days in sucession. And the timetable change doesn't even happen until the weekend ... is stock on the move already? What will it look like next week? P.S. Please, sir. Can we swap 2 x 2 car services for 4 x 1 car services a day ... there seem to be plenty of 153s around ;D ;D ;D This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
