Note that you'll find occasional gaps in the log, and they are typically when there were problems with the trains and / or reporting system - for example for 22nd July when the whole system was in chaos and (of course) the train failed to run.  I also know there are instances where trains due to call at Melksham show up with "false positives" on this system - in other words, they are recorded as running a few minutes before they are due, but then get cancelled or just disappear off the radar.

What does this mean?  Well - the week commencing 22nd July.  I believe it didn't run on 22nd.  Another thread tells me it was cancelled on 25th.   This system admits it was cancelled on 26th .... so as far as I'm aware, it ran just twice that week and was cancelled three times.    The system claims it ran three times, was cancelled once, and didn't know once.
