As an intending passenger travelling from a non staffed station (i.e. Melksham!), and no working information screen - how would I know the train is cancelled?
As a senior, I don't do Twitter, so wouldn't tweet.
I do faceache and of course this forum.
However, most of the travelling 'social' public wouldn't, so would be waiting a very long time for the next train.

That certainly wouldn't encourage me to use the train any further, and would pass on my frustrations to friends, etc.
