Title: Riots on the Heart of Wessex ...

14:04 Frome to Swindon due 15:03

This train has been delayed from Frome and is now 110 minutes late.
This train will be terminated at Westbury.
This train will no longer call at Trowbridge, Melksham, Chippenham and Swindon.
This is due to passengers causing a disturbance on this train.

"Please sir, can we have our train back" ... what on earth happened?

Because of this, the 14:48 from Gloucester was terminated at Westbury 'due to disorder'

An abusive and threatening inebriate at Frome. Carted off by police eventually.

That seems an excessive delay for dealing with a single drunk and abusive passenger.
Nearly 2 hours to call the police, and for the police to remove one person.
