Alteration to the 05:18 Gloucester to Southampton Central due 08:09.

This train will be terminated at Westbury.

This train will no longer call at Dilton Marsh, Warminster, Salisbury, Romsey and Southampton Central.

This is due to a broken down train.

In the past, mind you, that would have been cancelled ... so we have moved forward.   And the extra 6 minutes delay was almost undoubtedly caused by another train that wasn't there last year.

The 08:36 has gone via Bathampton Junction and was 21 minutes late at Trowbridge (having left Swindon four late).

Meanwhile the 08:22 from Westbury has left Melksham 55 minutes later after a fitter travelled out to it to make repairs.

Oh dear ... just six passengers on the 10:48 this morning when it arrived from Trowbridge.  2 got off, 2 more got on making 8 users on the Trowbridge - Chippenham section ... may be one or two more as I was counting through the windows.   Weather windy, overcast, cold and heavy rain showers; more like a winter day that May, and that was reflected in the loadings.   Last weekend of winter train service, last Sunday it was bustituted and it was a bank holiday and next Sunday the summer service starts.

P.S. - Conductor says he's been on the run since Thursday and it's been pretty busy ...

After last Thursday's problems, it seems the gremlins have struck again this week..

This train will be diverted between Chippenham and Trowbridge.

Unusual one.  Cancelled because the driver was needed to take another unit to Castle Cary to help with a failed train.

Unusual movement at Chippenham tonight. The 1852 Swindon to Westbury (SWT▸ (South West Trains) CL 158) departed at the same time as the CL153 operating the TW service today did. However,   the TW service was also heading west, and they ran parallel towards Thingley Jn. "We do like to race them sometimes said one of the platform staff".  Appears the 153 was declared a failure at Chippenham and was on its way back to the depot for some TLC▸ (three letter code, or tender loving care, depending on context ), but it certainly made for an unusual movement, which I wish I'd recorded.

26 on the 1852 leaving SWI» (Swindon - next trains), and around 22 leaving Chippenham, although difficult to confirm having left the train.
