Silly me

For next Saturday I have booked a trip to Waterloo ... always popular in West Wilts, but .....

From Journeycheck Delays to services between Taunton and Exeter St Davids
Due to a fault with the signalling system at Exeter St Davids some lines are closed. Disruption is expected until 09:15 08/02.
Train services between Taunton and Exeter St Davids may be delayed.
Additional Information
The track circuit which allows the signaller to safely see which trains are occupying different sections of track has failed at the western end of Exeter St David's station. This has locked a set of points into one position, meaning some trains can't switch between different tracks.

As a result, the number of available platforms at Exeter St David's that trains can use will be reduced from 6 to 2.

Services between Exeter Central & Barnstaple will start/terminate at Exeter St David's.

Services between Exmouth & Paignton will start/terminate and restart at Exeter St David's.

Some of the first passengers who wanted to use the service,
not very happy as one of first bus's did not come into the P and R and stopped on the main road



Driver failing ro read new instructions, or First failing to issue them?
No supervisor on site it seems!

Melksham would be a good location from what I've read.
Connectable rail service, with added bus links  Undecided

With the current weather conditions, busses would need to be cleaned twice a day to ensure they didn't look too bad.
Clean it overnight & it's filthy by lunchtime but also has to continue in service until late at night.
Around 15 minutes manual washing per bus, or 6 minutes if in a bus wash - plus the cost of detergents and electricity.
