I'll be taking the 11:36 from Melksham today ... back at 17:37, after an afternoon in Salisbury. A rare opportunity for this trip - on a normal Friday I would have to catch the 06:40 - to Salisbury at 07:34, return train at 18:41
I note:
10:15 Westbury to Swindon due 10:58
This train will be formed of 1 coach instead of 2.This is due to an earlier train fault.

Can't say that I'm too worried about this change - I recall crowded bank holiday trains of two coaches on the line in the summers of 2005 and 2006 - happy times although the clouds of the effective execution of the service where clearly visible and the "consultation" gone before we knew it had even happened. No - I'm not worried because this change (for today only) doesn't seem to have been advertised, and I'm sure a 153 will have more than enough seats.
Next year will be a different story 
... we're campaigning for a better service via
http://www.transwilts.org.uk/pledge.html and other sites, and there will be a choice of trains at 06:40, 09:28 and 12:28 down to Salisbury, with returns at 13:31, 16:24 and 18:41. And we'll be having a ball - back to 2006 levels and rising, again, at compound 35% per annum!
