Fourth day out of nine so far in December with cancellations ... and the base service on this line is so infrequent that each and every cancellation means serious disruptions to people's schedules - in none of these cases is it "there will be another one along in half an hour ..." but rather "yikes - what do we do now?"

Points failed at Thingley Junction. 1315 Swindon to Westbury has just diverted via Bathampton Junction. Next round trip will clearly be disrupted too.

That look asymmetric - but then there are some very odd workings on a Saturday evening where (in theory, anyway) the northbound service finishes at half past six but the last southbound train doesn't reach end of journey until nearly 10 O'Clock.

The 18:35 from Westbury was cancelled at 09:50 today but then re-instated just under an hour later along with the 19:34 from Swindon.
