Due to reduced staff availability due to Covid, there are train service REDUCTIONS across the GWR (Great Western Railway) area (all the way from Paddington to Penzance) next week.   For Melksham users there are the following changes:

So trains will run as follows:
08:36, 13:05, 15:07, 17:07, 18:50 and 20:39 to Swindon
09:38, 14:04, 16:08, 18:08, 19:54 and 21:49 to Westbury

Week commencing 10th
05:17 Westbury-Swindon Cancelled
06:11 Swindon-Southampton Cancelled
17:50 Gloucester-Warminster terminates at Westbury

Trains leave TROWBRIDGE 10 minutes before they leave Melksham for Swindon

Trains leave SWINDON about 25 minutes before they leave Melksham for Westbury

Covid is meaning that plans have to be updated as circumstances change. Please check your train on the day of travel as there may be last minute changes.

Trains from Sunday 16th January will be reviewed early next week; plan is to return the trains that have been removed next week as soon as staffing levels allow them to run reliably.
