18:39 Westbury to Swindon due 19:21 20:47 Swindon to Westbury due 21:28
20:47 Swindon to Westbury due 21:28 will be cancelled. This is due to a shortage of train crew. 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.

It sat at Chippenham for over half an hour before diverting.

14:07 Westbury to Swindon due 14:55 15:05 Swindon to Westbury due 15:52 19:34 Swindon to Westbury due 20:16 21:10 Swindon to Westbury due 21:51
21:10 Swindon to Westbury due 21:51 will be cancelled. This is due to a shortage of train crew.
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.
