09:40 Swindon to Weymouth due 11:55
09:40 Swindon to Weymouth due 11:55 is being delayed at Swindon.
This is due to a shortage of train crew.

I tried to catch this train yesterday, even got to sit on it for a few minutes before the train was taken out of service, this was because the whole of the 'northern side' of the front carriage, including the side windows, was completely covered with an unauthorised silver and yellow paint scheme courtesy of a local graffiti artist, and the driver declared it couldn't be used as he couldn't see out of his cab's side window. We ended up using the stock that arrived in Swindon at about 0955
