I think it is "replace" - so that would be new. But then I thought it was happening over Christmas and it didn't - so  my information isn't to be relied upon.

Yesterday, I caught the 15:28 off Warminster that calls at Dilton Marsh, and 29 got off and 4 got on.  In the morning, pupils at one of the Warminster schools use a bus (there is no suitable train) but in the afternoon there is no well timed bus and they go back by train.     Interesting thought that passenger numbers could rise at Dilton Marsh by 4,500 if only a suitable morning train called southbound in the 07:04 to 10:13 gap!   Whether that's simply regarded as abstraction is an interesting question ... as is the economic case based on how much extra money would actually be received.
