This is due to a fault on this train.

And all subsequent trains to the 17:36 ex Swindon.

But it is three coaches rather than two.

Were it consistently three coaches (and were we at MRUG» (Melksham Rail User Group - site) and the CRP (Community Rail Partnership) allowed to, and actually working in tandem) we could make a really good job of growing and marketing.  In fact, if that bracketed condition were met, we could be helping make the services a darned sight busier than they are for the benefit of the railway, it's financial position, prospects.  For the benefit of congestion, dirty air and climate (longer term stuff), and for the benefit of the customers - existing and new.

P.S. That's three passenger coaches I'm talking about ... rather than two passenger coaches and a battery car.  Though that would be more sustainable than the current 2 or 3 car diesel.

Often hard to know what the alerts really mean.   A couple of minutes late is no problem in there parts provided it does not lead to a missed connection.

The TransWilts service used the down (reversible) line between Thingley and Wootton Bassett, being shown on TIGER as being platformed at Chippenham concurrently with the Bristol-Swindon IET (Intercity Express Train). Both connected at Swindon with a Swansea-Paddington train.

It will no longer call at Swindon.
It will be delayed at Chippenham.
This is due to a tree blocking the railway earlier today.

Missed logging the cancellation of the 07:35 Westbury to Swindon - that was 'replaced' by the extra 08:45 above.   The stock for the cancelled train arrives at Westbury from Bristol just before it heads out for Swindon; tree blocking line at Keynsham this morning clearly put paid to those plans today.

But we don't HAVE any level crossings .... oh - wait - our line is working and can be passed to "more important" trains which could (at the least) be polite enough to stop along the way and make up the journey opportunities they have stolen.

Picking up the "freewheeling" comments from yesterday, good ole railway - telling people operationally that the train is cancelled, but not telling them how to travel instead:
