Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but I think its worth noting that a more detailed explanation has been posted on JourneyCheck entries with missed stops on Turbos.
I’m all for more detailed explanations, even if they are a bit late.
14:38 Westbury to Bristol Parkway due 15:44
14:38 Westbury to Bristol Parkway due 15:44 will no longer call at Avoncliff.
This is due to a fault on this train.
Additional Information
To increase capacity on our Weymouth and Southampton services we are introducing 3 coach Turbo trains. Turbo trains require the fitting of local door controls to allow them to stop at stations with very short platforms. A Turbo train not fitted with these controls cannot call at Avoncliff, Dilton Marsh, Chetnole or Thornford.
Unfortunately it has taken longer than expected to fit the controls and the Turbo train being used on this service today has yet to be fitted.
If you at one of the stations the train is unable to call at please use the help point or contact National Rail Enquiries on 03457 48 49 50 and we will arrange for an additional stop on another train, or alternative road transport if another train cannot be stopped within a reasonable time.
We would like to apologise for the difficulties we know this has caused to your journeys recently.
