I am going to London (From WSM) twice in the coming weeks.
On Wednesday 5th March I am catching the 1123 service that starts at Weston, becomes the 1200 service from Temple Meads, completing the usual service every 30 minutes

Also going on the 12th March but oddly this service isn't running, it doesn't even start at BTM▸ (Bristol Temple Meads (strictly, it should be BRI) but BTM is a commonly used alternative))
It then runs again from the 19th March

Does anyone know why it isn't running on the 12th?
Seems odd to be missing just that day without any obvious reason

Almost certainly due to Cheltenham Festival.
