Title: Disturbing news. Post by: grahame on August 13, 2018, 12:27:09 Quote 11:11 Westbury to Southampton Central due 12:17 11:11 Westbury to Southampton Central due 12:17 will be terminated at Romsey. It will no longer call at Southampton Central. It has been delayed at Warminster and is now 30 minutes late. This is due to passengers causing a disturbance on this train. And I thought that everyone was so peaceful in Wiltshire! As the "boat train" connecting the West of England to Southampton, I do home their are not to many cruise passenger with lots if luggage having to drop back to the Portsmouth train at Romsey.

Quote 09:30 Cardiff Central to Portsmouth Harbour due 12:52 will be terminated at Southampton Central. It will no longer call at Fareham, Cosham, Fratton, Portsmouth & Southsea and Portsmouth Harbour. It has been delayed at Warminster and is now 31 minutes late. This is due to passengers causing a disturbance on this train. Or was it a disturbance at Warminster station itself? Title: Re: Disturbing news.

Forget my earlier comments about passengers from the West Country and baggage at Romsey ... the train from Plymouth was late into Westbury anyway, so the 11:11 would have been carrying fresh air ...

Title: Re: Disturbing news. Post by: RA on August 13, 2018, 17:43:22 All joking aside, the guard on the 09:30 Cardiff to Portsmouth service was assaulted at Warminster by two assailants. Another passenger was also assaulted.
Title: Re: Disturbing news. Post by: bobm on August 13, 2018, 18:30:20 That is the third assault on staff I have heard about in four days.
Title: Re: Disturbing news. Post by: Timmer on August 13, 2018, 19:49:46 Makes me cross when I hear that someone can’t do their job without the risk of this happening and yes it’s happening all too often with the penalty all too lenient.
