Summary report for December for TransWilts via
http://www.mrug.org.uk/record.htmlDecember report on train performance at MelkshamSummary - December started quite well. Fell apart from 15th to 24th December with the new timetable. Good recovery for the short period between Christmas and the New Year, though even then the 4.3% cancellation rate is twice the worst-case target.
Thanks to
GWR▸ for running some buses - though not always. GWRHelp on 21st December advised me to wait for the 15:33 train when I was due to catch the 10:20 rather than suggesting / providing an alterative (I actually switched to the Faresaver bus at more than twice the price as I had a 12:00 appointment in Chippenham)
Data for the 05:33 was not correctly collected for the first couple of mornings it ran - I have filled in as "On Time" as that was what the data on Real Time Trains suggested happened.
5th December help point log of cancelled train to Paddington a data error (!) - only makes a tiny difference to the stats. Log of an EARLY train is a surprise. I suspect it would have waited time at Melksham in practise.
