Also the 15:14 from Swindon to Westbury terminated at Chippenham - presumably due to the same train fault.

Let's hope the train is fixed up at the Swindon end and the 17:36 runs ... not a good start to the week;  lost most of last Saturday's services at Melkasham to engineering diversions, one on Monday to a points failure at Bradford-on-Avon, and two so far today to a train problem ...

According to RealTimeTrains the unit has run empty from Chippenham to Westbury so I am not hopeful - but you never know.

Spoke too soon!   Grin

16:15 now reinstated - but the 17:11 Westbury to Warminster now cancelled due to a train fault.   Wink

Shouldn't say it, but ...

This is due to a train fault.

Any chance that the unit's on the TransWilts.   17:36 Swindon to Westbury is usually busier than the 17:11 Westbury to Warminster - though I do note that the 17:28 from Warminster is short-running too, and that gets busier.

I am guessing it is.  The 16:15 was predicted to be a 25 minute late start and is now likely to be 40 late - which will make it tight for the return at 17:36.

EDIT

Will now be 45 late and terminate at Chippenham.

ANOTHER EDIT(!)

Left 40 late but will run through to Swindon with the 17:36 due to return about 10 late.

About 17 minutes late in the end by Melksham, and well loaded.  Report going up on public board in a few minutes.

Signalling problems mean platforms 2 & 3 at Swindon out of use.  The incoming Transwilts service (07:32 ex-Westbury) was terminated at Chippenham.

This train will be cancelled.
This is due to an earlier train fault.

Road transport will be provided for customers at Melksham to convey them to Trowbridge or Westbury.

Would it be too much to ask to hold the 1730 to Taunton for 6 minutes so that everyone expecting to catch the 1736 could be accommodated as far as Chippenham for onward road transport.  Oh sorry, silly me, that would cost money, so we'll delay passengers for another 25 mins instead.

Especially as the 17:30 is actually the 17:32 in the working timetable...and it is booked to wait at Bristol Temple Meads for six minutes....

Problems at Thingley Junction following thunderstorms.

The 05:17 Gloucester to Southampton service will not run between Swindon and Westbury.

Could well be more cancellations

Quote
Due to lightning having damaged equipment between Melksham and Chippenham the line is blocked.
 Impact: 
 Train services running through these stations may be cancelled. An estimate for the resumption of normal services will be provided as soon as the problem has been fully assessed.
 Customer Advice: 
 Following severe storms in the area yesterday, the signalling equipment has been damaged and trains cannot operate. Road replacement transport has been requested to operate between Westbury and Swindon in both directions.
