I wonder when Melksham last had more planned departures than Swindon?

I say planned - the first of the two round trips has been cancelled.

It may still be the case that actually happens - if this afternoon train runs.

Not really anything to celebrate for Melksham - the service today has been reduced to useless, and it's another own goal by the rail industry as a whole.  This is not the thread, though, to look at our archaic system of industrial relations.

Personal opinion, but I sincerely hope the driver did fall ill - and was not intimidated into not booking on.

I did wonder.  Some of the long serving staff at Westbury talk of how memories have not faded (nor attitudes totally changed) between those who joined previous strikes and those who did not.

It would most likely have been a driver manager who was allocated to work it, so they wouldn't be an ASLEF» (Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen - about) member.
