An option allows the feed of the first train from Swindon from Gloucester,
Slight punctuation/text alteration required between the 'from Swindon from Gloucester' part?

Note that when major timetable changes and cascades some, fresh scheduling will be
needed
The adding of the word 'units' to be added after cascades some?

I know this is only a rough draft timetable but I wouldn't have thought there would be any need for an anti-clockwise service at 05:30ish, therefore the 04:56 Salisbury to Romsey could run later and simply run clockwise to form the 06:07 from Romsey, similar to the current 05:35 from Salisbury

How come there are 2 first arrivals at Westbury from Southampton and two first arrivals at Salisbury from Swindon?  You can surely only have one first arrival?

I should probably say "early" arrivals.    I've listed the first arrivals along the whole route, and all the earlier short workings to show how (and to check for myself) that the build-up is sensible.

Inputs incorporated, thank you - and I've also added a chart of first and last flights at Southampton Airport to join up the answers still further.
