Depressing, but although sparse it is more than some areas are getting.

Seems appropriate to mention this here as it involves the TransWilts line...
Quote
20:24 Portsmouth Harbour to Cardiff Central due 23:58 will be diverted between Westbury and Bath Spa.
It will no longer call at Bradford-On-Avon but will call additionally at Chippenham, Oldfield Park and Keynsham.
It will be delayed due to the diversion and is expected to be 15 minutes late.
This is due to a tree blocking the railway.

Appears to be a XC▸ (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) ECS▸ (Empty Coaching Stock) stopped between Bradford on Avon and Avoncliff.

Good ... pity to have scared off people commuting to Swindon on the 07:20 and 08:00 from Melksham who usually come home on this and are sadly (but wisely) in the habit of checking in the morning ...
