22:31 Swindon to Westbury due 23:12
22:31 Swindon to Westbury due 23:12 will be cancelled.

This is due to a shortage of train crew.

There goes my train home ... advance ticket on the 21:31 off Paddington .... it always pays to have a plan "B" ... think I have one somewhere  ...

Looks like it's reinstated...along with several others!

Is that the plan "B"?  Take anything from JourneyCheck more than a few hours in advance with a huge pinch of salt?  Undecided

No - "Plan B" was to stay over.  Today was planned at January sale time - but then in February I got an invite for tomorrow that I could not refuse and I was going to be pretty tired.  Plan B was "if return train cancelled, stay over" and button pressed to implement that.  I have emergency supplies anyway.

18:37 Westbury to Swindon due 19:21 will be diverted between Trowbridge and Chippenham.
It will no longer call at Melksham.
It will be delayed due to the diversion and is expected to be 9 minutes late.
