From (my) Facebook post

Sunday trips to WEYMOUTH all year now by train from Chippenham (09:44) and Melksham (09:54), arrive Weymouth 11:56 with a change at Westbury. Return from Weymouth at 17:56, change at Westbury, 19:57 in Melksham and 20:07 in Chippenham. Earlier returns with good connections at 14:15 and 16:10 if you just want a short trip.

£17.50 return (adult), 34% off for railcards and groups of 3 or more, 50% off for children.

This Sunday (17th) see the Ironman competition in Weymouth - https://www.facebook.com/events/1305874689498834

It's MASSIVE good news that the TransWilts Sunday service starts now and henceforth at 09:00 on on Sunday morning all year rather that 2 hours later in Winter.   Not (yet) running as far as Swindon ... but just wait.

Recent reliability issues have lead me to delay this announcement here, with advise from GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) to check today to see if the train's running tomorrow.    However, GWRHelp told me earlier today

Both services are still scheduled and expected to run tomorrow. Nothing to suggest otherwise at present.

but added when I quoted recent weekend record of last minute issues

As far as I'm aware they are still expected to run and I don't have any information to suggest they won't at present. I would advise checking this link in the morning though in case there are any changes: https://www.journeycheck.com/greatwesternrailway/. Hopefully they'll all run as scheduled.

P.S.  Outbound to Weymouth - 09:17 ex Swindon with an extra change at Chippenham.   Return evening train should go all the way Westbury to Swindon (and then carries on to Cheltenham Spa)
