I was on this today, great to see no overcrowding on what was the 11.10 from Soton (so 10.22 Ports?) with Bath playing at home too. A few people were standing up when there were seats available... Still, takes all sorts.

I was at Westbury at about 10:00 yesterday - headed South - and there was a report that the 09:22 off Portsmouth was full and overflowing by Fareham and had lost 15 minutes - to the extent that an extra at 11:17 was running Westbury - Bath - Bristol - Cardiff.  Good to see that the stock situation has eased somewhat, to the extent that we have a start back for 3 car units, and some capacity for extras.


Class 150 unit in Arriva colours at Westbury yesterday


Portmouth bound 3 car 158 at Fareham yesterday - to form 18:22 back to Cardiff?
