Well you would have thought so - but as of now there is no mention on Journeycheck and the screens at Swindpn are showing it as running.  No sign of an empty stock move to provide for a service either.

Thank you for that ... I would have guessed otherwise (from the sidings) ... but these things change around.

The unit for that train is formed from the 06:40 Bristol Temple Meads to Westbury service. Since the timetable change it is also the driver from that train as well. If the 06:40 from Bristol is disrupted it doesn't bode well for the 07:37 from Westbury as both another driver and another unit have to be found.  Embarrassed

Having checked, the 06:40 from Bristol appears not to have run today.

There you go, fixed that for you. Andrew Haines has grahame's phone number, and we will be expecting the call imminently.

I got to know - a little - Andrew when he was MD of Great Western Railway. That was long before he took on the wider role of Great British Railways. And I have a huge respect for him.  He has a mountain of issues to confront, which it would take me until Christmas to list, and I do not envy him that mountain.

In the UK (United Kingdom), we have a number of strong community, local, regional expertise and that community, outside of the conventional rail industry, Horseferry Road and political sphere could bring that expertise to help with perhaps radical progress if only it were allowed.  You jest, Lee, about Andrew Haines calling  and elsewhere I comment about asking Mark A to take on a role.  You yourself have more than a little to offer (and indeed you are doing so on the buses) and I could find some really excellent others - no shortage of candidates, many of whom are likely to be reading this (and I hope will know I am hinting at them!)

But ... it does require some brave decisions, and trust and a free reign to get on and do the darned job from those who have perhaps over-managed to the extent they have stifled improvement.  There are some really excellent people, but some work in really constraining systems.

Hope no one was travelling from Melksham to Severn Beach today.

An illustration of just what a mess there is at the moment - and how anything that involved a connection is double jeopardy at the moment.

I would suggest an emergency timetable - fewer trains, with additional trains run as staffing and "train repairs" allowed.  Something with a built in robustness which didn't fall over like a pack of cards at the first piece of disruption.   Of course, I haven't had THAT call suggested elsewhere yet  Cheesy ... and everyone seems to be so busy fire-fighting that the niceties of keeping in touch with the users feels very limited at times.
