NR» did put out a video on (no longer?) Twitter, and not a bad attempt at explaining the situation. But far too late - in the end it must have been after the fix was found, during the hour of watching and hoping. |

Bit time-sensitive this morning, so, currently on a 70% seats-free train at Warminster, heading for Bristol, returning from London via Salisbury.

Looks like you arrived as Salisbury from London at 10:48 and so missed the 10:44 major-stops-only to Bristol. Instead, you caught the 11:12 to Bristol - a new train in May that actually started from Salisbury (2V92) - 158752 - and 30% loading as early as Warminster feels not unreasonable. The 11:12, after all, sets off from Salisbury just BEFORE the arrival of the SWR» trains from Basingstoke and from Romsey. |

Cancellations to services between Taunton and Reading via Westbury
Due to a fault with the signalling system between Taunton and Castle Cary trains have to run at reduced speed on the line towards Westbury. Disruption is expected until 16:00 27/07.
Train services between Taunton and Reading via Westbury may be cancelled, delayed or revised.
So the fault has transferred West!
That's the problem with a centralised system unfortunately.
Our Maritime Radio services went down a remote control route, it worked OK'ish after a fashion. Was heavily reliant on engineering services to kick something back into life; or BT line engineers to poke bits of wire somewhere.
The Coastguard thought this was a wonderful idea, so went down that route. It works after a fashion, but I don't know their attrition rate.
Then the Fire service started remote working, as did the Police and Ambulance.
Remoting was to be the saviour of mankind. Would cut costs and reduce the need for 'people'.
Just about every industry now has remote/central control.
Not really impressed by it.

That's the one. The journey went as follows: anecdote not data: the barriers at Waterloo didn't fight my ticket. The exeter train left on time, dropped three busy ~60% occupied carriages at Salisbury, which left empty for the depot while the passengers for the most part left the station, and left Salisbury station pretty quiet.
There's now a Costa on the island platform, which is welcome competition from the usual concession on the other that once sold me a suspicious cake. The Bristol train was quiet from Salisbury, a little busier from Warminster, was checked slightly at Dilton Marsh perhaps because Westbury was feeling the heat of the disruption east of Reading in the form of out-of-path arrivals at its generous three platform provision. Lots of people aboard at Trowbridge, so cheerfully busy thereafter.
End to end impressions of the journey - busy peak hour through trains from my origin point to Waterloo East meant no need to change at London Bridge, which helps. Out of Waterloo, takes twice as long now but less of a fairground ride, and, given the current disruption on the Paddington route, a lot of confidence of an on-time arrival.
