Anyone wishing for a day at Weymouth today arent in for much luck, good job you chose last Sunday to make the foray with your Melksham people Grahame.

From the FGW▸ (First Great Western) website ;-

11:09 Weymouth to Westbury due 12:36
This train has been cancelled.

Replacement road transport will be in operation.

09:00 Westbury to Weymouth due 10:28
This train has been cancelled.


Does this mean that road transport will be in operation for only the Weymouth to Westbury service Huh??

Does anyone know why the 13.52 Bath Spa to Weymouth doesnt start as BTM▸ (Bristol Temple Meads (strictly, it should be BRI) but BTM is a commonly used alternative))? Seems a bit unusual for it to start at Bath Spa.

I had a feeling its single line working this Autumn as only 'West' services are operating between Bath and Bristol with London services replaced by buses between Swindon-Bath-Bristol until 15.00 though this has been moved earlier to 11.00 last weekend and next as Network Rail arent doing as much work as planned.

There was single line working and on another forum it was reported that trains were arriving at the "opposite direction" platform and departing before passengers had a chance to make their way from where they were waiting to the "wrong platform". More adverse publicity for FGW▸ (First Great Western) as if they needed it.

Yes FGW▸ (First Great Western) need to sort that out that they ensure when SLW is in operation that passengers know which platform to use. I am however glad to see that Network Rail have finally resumed SLW between Bath and Bristol rather than closing both lines though London services don't run as there must also be work going on between Bath and Swindon which may not have the right signalling to operate SLW.

Well I can belive it, but the Westbury guard did wait on the 0934 Frome-Bristol
