19:15 Frome to Cheltenham Spa due 21:33 will be diverted between Trowbridge and Chippenham.

It will no longer call at Melksham.

It will be delayed due to the diversion and is expected to be 1 minute late.

This is due to a late running freight train.

And the same for lots of subsequent trains.  Not a problem - two will be plenty, thank you.  For the record, these days one would be a sever problem - even on a Saturday we can have a hundred passengers on a contra-flow train.

Curious report from a passenger displaced into a taxi to get back to Melksham ... GWR (Great Western Railway) telling him that the train was actually running through Melksham but not stopping because of time constraints.    Anyone able to fill me in on this - what happened?
