20:47 Swindon to Westbury due 21:28 will be cancelled.
This is due to a shortage of train crew.

They could be, but for the fact that the parts of the SW have some of the highest Covid rates in the country, which may also be behind the staff shortages.  The Pandemic is not over whatever Boris says.

06:11 Swindon to Southampton Central due 08:08

06:11 Swindon to Southampton Central due 08:08 will be terminated at Westbury.
It will no longer call at Dilton Marsh, Warminster, Salisbury, Romsey and Southampton Central.
This is due to the emergency services dealing with an incident.

October 2021 ... 512 services scheduled, 490 show as running and calling at Melksham, of which 352 registered "on time".   Here is the rogue's gallery:

19:59   Westbury      a fault on this train
16:28   Westbury      a shortage of train crew
15:19   Swindon      a shortage of train crew

Very much using automated tools today - I have the raw data if I need to go back.   Cancellation rate around 4% (works out at 3.7% or 4.3% depending on what actually happened in the three "--" cases) which is hugely improved on the 8% type of figure we have seen, but still needs attention to get it below 2%.
