Sorry, i didn't word that quite correctly, it used to be a half-hourly frequency as far as Westbury didnt it?

The good news is that three car 158s are making a comeback. See:

Local services run between Portsmouth-Cardiff trains to give a half hour frequency between Westbury-Bristol.

There used to be a service from Cardiff-Westbury every half hour when you took into account Cardiff-Portsmouth and Cardiff-Weymouth/Brighton, however they replaced the Weymouth/Brighton services with services to Taunton.

Not in wessex days. Its back to how it used to be with Taunton/Wsm getting an hourly service to Cardiff and rightly so as Wiltshire already has one, however overcrowded it is

I think thenew timetable is pretty bad though. What was wrong with:

........Westbury-All shacks-Bristol
Taunton-Cardiff
Ports-Cardiff
And
W-s-M/Bristol-Cheltenham.

It worked well, as the Avon Valley all shacks connected with the Cheltenham and the Severnside all shacks!

I know it wasnt in Wessex days - it was Dec 06-Dec 07 

I agree it makes sense to have a CDF^» (Cardiff - next trains) to Taunton service as there is already one going to Bath Spa and Wesbury direction.
