We have various report of cancellations and short runs on 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th "upthread" - looks like yesterday (7th) was clear.  Here we go again today; this one is a short working at one of the extremes, and out of Wiltshire, but it's still early in the day ...

06:11 Swindon to Southampton Central due 08:07 was terminated at Salisbury.
It will no longer call at Romsey and Southampton Central.
This is due to a fault on this train.

Four of us local long-standing supporters met yesterday to talk campaigning for our (Melksham) train service, and all four of us admitted to commonly making use of other transport because of the utter unreliability and poverty of the service on an ongoing basis.

And as I write (07:35) the 07:20 at Melksham I showing "delayed" which is ... less than a helpful report for passengers waiting for it.

I wasn't there, but you can add a fifth long-standing supporter who is not only commonly but regularly making use of other transport on an ongoing basis. It's truly heartbreaking what they're doing to what used to be a reliable, if somewhat ill-timed, service.

And saga carries on - two cancellations so far this morning (already reported) and now this - much less major, but never the less killing the use through unreliability.

11:01 Weymouth to Swindon due 13:28 has been delayed at Dorchester West and is now 21 minutes late.
This is due to a points failure.

There have be more posts in this thread than days so far this year - and I / we do NOT log good days.  What a terrible record for a service that's already so thin it's only just useable.

The 09:46 from Westbury to Swindon was cancelled today, along with its return working, the 11:05 from Swindon.

The reason given on RTT» (Real Time Trains - website) was late arrival of crew from an inbound service.

( Journeycheck, oddly, gave the reason as a shortage of station staff  Huh )
