10:35 London Paddington to Exeter St Davids due 13:07
 
10:35 London Paddington to Exeter St Davids due 13:07 is being delayed between Reading and Newbury and is now expected to be 17 minutes late.
This is due to a safety inspection of the track earlier today.

and so ...

12:17 Westbury to Swindon due 12:59

12:17 Westbury to Swindon due 12:59 will be starting late from Westbury.
This is due to train crew being delayed by service disruption.

Ah - the effect of interworking of crews!   At least the Swindon train is not cancelled today and in fact (and in spite of the JoruneyCheck Alert) it was within a minute from Westbury.  Sharp change by the crew!

05:11 Gloucester to Southampton (supposedly) via Swindon this morning

Quote
This service was cancelled between Westbury and Southampton Central due to a power supply problem

I wonder how many more we fail to pick up - this came to my attention later only because of the effect on a train later in the diagram

The 12:17 Westbury - Swindon was cancelled due to a problem with the traction equipment.
Its return, the 13:14 from Swindon, was also cancelled: unknown cause according to RTT» (Real Time Trains - website), or, if you prefer Journeycheck: congestion.

Cancelled to allow 1C78 to divert via Melksham as a freight locomotive was having issues between Reading and Theale. Yet again, a problem on that route sees the Melksham service removed.

For the record, the 09:45 Westbury to Swindon and 11:05 Swindon to Westbury services can be added to the list of cancelled services on Monday 09th December.

10:46 Westbury to Swindon due 11:34
11:41 Swindon to Westbury due 12:22

Facilities on the 11:41 Swindon to Westbury due 12:22.
Toilet facilities are not available.
This is due to a fault on this train.

Additional Information
No toilet facilities available

At least it is running for the most part (the 08:06 started from Westbury) ... lack of a toilet is far less of an issue than lack of a train.
