Can any of you "railway types" help me with this one?

I've established that there's 2 trains a day at more or less the same time as current on Mondays to Fridays from December.

Sunday service ... northbound at 17:21 and 19:50, southbound a new service at 18:51.   I think.

Saturday a bit of a mystery. On 15th December, bustitution (I think) and on 22nd I can ONLY find a northbound at 09:18 and a southbound at 21:33.  That's only half of the SLC specified service.

When do the other Saturday trains run??

All times mentioned are at Melksham

Saturdays are slightly different, theres a swi-wsb at about 1530 I think???

At the moment, yes .... but it's not there on 22nd December :-( ... nor is the wsb-swi that it passes (at the moment) between Chippenham and Swindon.

OK ... I may have been panicked because of the vagaries of the timetable site.  I have now found a 15:18 northbound from Melksham where an hour back I was told "no suitable services" for an almost identical query.

For 15th December, I'm offered a 2 hour journey with three changes to Swindon - by bus to Trowbridge, train to Bath, train to Chippenham, and bus on to Swindon. Wow - what a lot of travel for a little money!  :D

Looking at the current Saturday time table it looks almost useable if you want to go shopping in Swindon! Wow, two whole trains per day!!!!!!

I bet you would get challenged though!
