16:23 Westbury to Swindon due 17:05
17:35 Swindon to Westbury due 18:19

17:35 Swindon to Westbury due 18:19 will be cancelled.
This is due to a problem currently under investigation.

Both re-instated half an hour later.

Oh dear - I think.

I have written before of how difficult it must be for the decision makers as a situation arises as to when to say something in public. - but, really, broadcasting in public will be cancelled is a very definitive statement and to my gives no room for doubt - it's a statement that the train in question won't run.

I would (personally - is it just me?) like to see an option where a train service could be reported as being at [low/some/high] risk of cancellation and with a note of a time by which the record will be updated.

No - it's very annoying when you change your plans to take a less convenient (or, based on recent experience, more inconvenient

) form of commute and then find out you needn't have bothered.

Thank you for that confirmation.

There are times I feel that I am reflecting the needs / concerns of members and and the many people I talk with who are not Coffee Shop members - and that's good. There are also time that I find myself wondering if I am the only one concerned at something - in which case I should probably move on from that issue.
