07:33 Westbury to Swindon due 08:19
This train will be cancelled.
This is due to a member of train crew being unavailable.
Additional Information:
Customers at Westbury and Trowbridge should travel via Bath Spa.
A taxi has been arranged to convey customers at Melksham to Chippenham for further train services to Swindon.

Oops.   I hope that the information board at Melksham reflects this, and that it's more than one taxi.  We've moved on from 2013, and multiple (3 or 4?) taxis would be needed - also something's needed for the inward commute to Melksham from Westbury and Trowbridge.

Sounds like "via Melksham" fares will be honoured via Bath Spa (otherwise 8.20 fare has gone up to 14.10).  Scheduled arrival time into Swindon now 08:40 rather than 08:19 (o a train 5 minutes later from Trowbridge)

08:49 Swindon to Westbury due 09:42 This train will be cancelled.

Customers at Swindon travelling to Melksham should travel to Chippenham from where road transport will be provided to Melksham. Customers at Melksham will be provided with a taxi to convey them to Trowbridge or Westbury.
