It was booked to go on the Westbury avoiding line from Frome.  However it was running 4 late from Yeovil. The reversal would have to have happened at Blatchbridge Jct presumably. I followed on Traksy from Bruton to Castle Cary and back.
I should have taken a screen shot!
1014  Journey by Journey / London to the West / Re: Westbury North Junction Renewal December 2018 - January 2019 on: January 04, 2019, 08:29:37
Now not expected to be rectified before 1400, according to Journey Check
1015  Journey by Journey / Heart of Wessex / 2V93 Weymouth to Bristol, Thursday Jan 3 on: January 03, 2019, 20:21:15
Can anyone explain why the above service ran to Bruton and towards Frome before returning to Castle Cary before going forward to Frome and Bristol? I was following it on Tracksy after seeing it mentioned on Journey Check that it was being delayed at Frome.

Today is day 6 of our 12 days of Christmas work in Westbury

📸 We will be sharing a picture each day

🎶 On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me; six way ducting under the platforms

This enables cables to run safely across the station as signalling is upgraded
1019  Sideshoots - associated subjects / The West - but NOT trains in the West / Re: What is there to do in Melksham? on: December 28, 2018, 14:40:28
A group, of which I am part, has recently put together a series of walks linking the industrial history of seven locations which were involved in the sailcloth, rope, net and twine industry. That might be a possibility for Melksham, more wool focussed clearly.
Trowbridge had a good A3 folded sheet on a walk around the town highlighting its woollen heritage.
I have a copy somewhere. Let me know if you would like a copy.

On 2 January electric train services will run between Newbury and London Paddington for the first time.

🚆 The upgrade will enable GWR (Great Western Railway) to run brand new trains with more seats.

👏🏻 We thank passengers for their patience whilst we modernise the railway.
