Started on time from Taunton but lost 22 minutes between there and WSM. No reason given at the moment. Expected to depart NLS 1936.

Edited to add
Just left Weston 23 down.

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

A further update - passed Worle Junction 22 late. It looks like the train is routed to run fast from Temple Meads to Swindon via Chipping Sodbury, so at the moment it's expected to make up most of the current delay by Swindon. Was that what you're expecting or was it booked to run via Bath?

Erm ... have you tried using the Information Point, at the top of those steps up to Platform 2 (just opposite the disabled parking bays at NLS)?  Lips sealed

Thats the problem with using iPhones in the cold and your fingers freeze.  You either get the wrong letters or predictive text turns it into nonsense.  Grin Grin

Delay started at Uphill Junction. Wonder if it had trouble getting onto the Weston loop?
