Cancellations to services between Trowbridge and Chippenham via Melksham

Due to heavy snow at Westbury disruption is expected until the end of the day.

Train services between Trowbridge and Chippenham via Melksham will be cancelled.

Customer Advice
Due to engineering works in the Westbury area, rail services are already disrupted.

Rail replacement road transport was in operation, however due to the snow, some coach operators are standing down and therefore the advertised rail replacement road services may not run.

Slightly confusing message in that there were no *train* services planned through Melksham today in any event due to the engineering work.

17:35 Swindon to Weymouth due 19:57

17:35 Swindon to Weymouth due 19:57 will be started from Trowbridge.
It will no longer call at Swindon, Chippenham and Melksham.
It will be delayed at Trowbridge and is expected to be 20 minutes late.
This is due to a fault on this train.

During the Westbury closure the 17:35 from Swindon has been operated with the unit which worked the morning service from Trowbridge.    The unit has spent the day idle in Platform 2 at Swindon.

Whatever the fault with it was, it left Swindon at 17:00 today to head to St Philips Marsh depot in Bristol.

As far as I am aware it is the only train, or bus replacement, not to operate for passengers over the duration of the works.

08:06 Warminster to Swindon due 08:58

Facilities on the 08:06 Warminster to Swindon due 08:58.
Will be formed of 3 coaches instead of 2.

Further Information

If you arrive at your destination 15 or more minutes late because your GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) train was delayed or cancelled, you can claim Delay Repay compensation. Please keep your ticket and visit GWR.com/DelayRepay

Celebration!    The triains are back and running again.   Lots of  2 <-> 3 carriage swiches today and in this queter season that won't make a huge difference (2 carriages on "The Weymouth" in the summer WOULD)

Running time 52 minutes, Warminster to Swindon.  What a wonderful contrast to the last month.  Buses have performed well, but the journey has taken twice as long.

14:22 Frome to Swindon due 15:33 will be started from Westbury.
It will no longer call at Frome.
This is due to a broken down train earlier today.
