This is due to congestion. 8 minute delay. No problem - especially as the ongoing connection to Salisbury, Southampton and Portsmouth at Westbury was made, which is used by a high proportion of people on this train. |

1A88 - 12:15 Penzance to Paddington due 17:31 1A89 - 15:42 Exeter St Davids to Paddington due 18:07 Alterations to services between Plymouth and London Paddington via Taunton
Due to a broken down train at Hungerford the line towards Reading is blocked. Disruption is expected until 18:00 05/09.
Train services between Plymouth and London Paddington via Taunton and Exeter St Davids may be delayed or diverted via Swindon.
Customer Advice
Due to a broken down train near Hungerford, trains towards London from the west of England are being diverted, and calling additionally at Swindon, adding approxinately 15 minutes on the journey. For customers who are travelling to Pewsey, please alight at Swindon where road transport will be provided.
Customers travelling to Hungerford or Newbury are advised to stay on the train to Reading, and change.
Replacement road transport services are conveying passengers between Swindon and Pewsey in both directions until further notice. No advice or alternative arrangements (that I have seen yet) for customers to and from Melksham - ever felt treated like second class citizens? Ah ... Additional Information
If you are travelling from an unstaffed station please use the Customer Help Point or contact National Rail Enquiries on 03457 484 950 detailing the total number of passengers in your party and your intended destination. This will enable us to get suitable replacement transport to you as quickly as possible. As there are always passengers on and off at all stations, why wait until someone requests suitable transport? |

As there are always passengers on and off at all stations, why wait until someone requests suitable transport? Maybe they need to know how many need transport & to which destinations - are we sending a single taxi, multiple taxis, a minibus or multiple minibuses or do we need a coach? |

Maybe they need to know how many need transport & to which destinations - are we sending a single taxi, multiple taxis, a minibus or multiple minibuses or do we need a coach? Logic might suggest transport along the line of route  If they send nothing at all until requested, they have a sporting chance of getting off cheap because people give up - at the expense of keeping people waiting for ages and loosing a lot of goodwill. I would agree that for stations with an oder of magnitude less passengers - the Chetnoles and Beer Hacketts of this world - there is sense in finding out if there are passengers to carry ... |

17:50 Gloucester to Salisbury due 20:06
17:50 Gloucester to Salisbury due 20:06 will no longer call at Melksham.
This is due to more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time.
Will be formed of 5 coaches instead of 2 between Gloucester and Westbury. No customer advice offered |

12:17 Westbury to Swindon due 12:59
12:17 Westbury to Swindon due 12:59 is being delayed at Westbury.
This is due to train crew being delayed by service disruption. 13:15 Swindon to Westbury due 13:57
13:15 Swindon to Westbury due 13:57 will be starting late from Swindon.
This is due to train crew being delayed by service disruption. As I write, 23 minutes late on its way to Swindon. Perhaps 15 minutes late (other trains allowing?) on the way back? |
