From Journeycheck

Engineering Work: Between Swindon and Westbury Planned engineering work will take place.
Between Swindon and Westbury
From 02:00, Saturday 27 December 2014 to 02:00, Saturday 03 January 2015.
Additional Information:
Saturday to Friday An amended timetable will be operating between Swindon and Westbury with some services running earlier than normal.

This confirms the timetable information shown above in this thread

Note that amended really means reduced from next Monday, with the 07:19 and 07:48 replaced northbound by a single service at 07:37, and the 19:47 not running.   Southbound, the 06:38 isn't running and neither is the 19:20 (Melksham times given ... centre of line).

from next Monday, with the 07:19 and 07:48 replaced northbound by a single service at 07:37

I'm to blame...my train from the South West is diverted via Melksham (not calling) after stopping at Westbury at 07:46 and arrives at Swindon at 08:21.

Sorry.
