Delays to services at Melksham
Owing to signalling problems at Melksham trains have to run at reduced speed on all lines.
Impact:
Train services running through this station may be delayed at short notice. An estimate for the resumption of normal services will be provided as soon as the problem has been fully assessed.

05:17 Gloucester to Southampton Central due 08:09
This train has been delayed at Swindon by 35 minutes, is being further delayed between Chippenham and Trowbridge and is now expected to be 50 minutes late.
This is due to signalling problems.

07:04 Westbury to Cheltenham Spa due 09:05 This train is being delayed between Trowbridge and Chippenham and is now expected to be 8 minutes late.
This train will be diverted between Trowbridge and Chippenham.
This train will no longer call at Melksham.
This is due to signalling problems.

We seem to have more than our fair share of signalling problems these days - is the axle counter inherently unreliable or something?

I hope the through passengers on the 07:04 from Westbury were allowed the "via Melksham" fare  Grin  ... and I expect the 07:32 will be rather fuller than usual by the time it gets to Chippenham.
