Facilities on the 15:22 Swindon to Westbury due 16:07.
Toilet facilities are not available at both ends.
This is due to vandalism on this train.
Additional Information
We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause.


Why would anybody want to vandalise bogs, they are very useful?.

Why would anybody want to vandalise bogs, they are very useful?.

Some people just want to make an impression and be noticed as being angry with society, or brave / macho with their friends.  Public conveniences with the facilities they need to provide and a natural lack of supervision have long been a target. Was the a rhetorical question or did you really want an answer??

Will be formed of 3 coaches instead of 2.

Don't get one for hours ... then 3 come along at the same time.  Oh - wait - that's the bus complaint.  Lots of these today; I won't be logging them all - just to note.

In railway terms toilet vandalism also includes blocking them with too much toilet paper - either accidentally or deliberately.

This was caused by the late running of the Bristol - Paddington service which has left Swindon 38 late.  However everything is at a standstill in the Wootton Bassett area following the failure of the 0830 Paddington to Bristol, including up services.

The broken down train has 8 coaches, so assume it to be an HST (High Speed Train). Reported to have hit an obstruction.

Thanks Roger .... copying one of the logs here to make it stand out for if and when I come back and analyse the thread.

11:47 Westbury to Swindon due 12:32 will be cancelled.
This is due to a broken down train.

Sounds like the failure is not a TransWilts train but the TransWilts is the service to be thinned out ...  Sad Shocked

As the 0946 Westbury arrived at Swindon 50 mins late I suppose the choice was lose one round trip or disrupt the service for hte rest of the day.  Heavy delays on most services at Swindon this morning

17:36 Swindon to Westbury due 18:17 will be diverted between Chippenham and Trowbridge.
It will no longer call at Melksham.
It is being delayed at Swindon.
This is due to a fault with the signalling system.
