11:41 Swindon to Weymouth due 14:00

Facilities on the 11:41 Swindon to Weymouth due 14:00.
This is due to more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time.
Will be formed of 3 coaches instead of 4 from Westbury.

Not a major issue, I suspect - middle of the day service.    I do not a couple of 5 cars down to 2 later in the late afternoon and early evening on Cardiff / Portsmouth and that probably will be an issue.

"This is due to more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time." - is that technically correct as it seems pretty usual for there to be a shortage of trains due to repairs.  Should it read "This is due to more trains than we had hoped needing repairs at the same time." ?

This is due to a fault on this train.

At least we're told early so that people can re-plan their whole work day.

How many times do GWR (Great Western Railway) have to keep changing the information.
The first cancellation would cause me to replan.
It's unlikely I would keep returning in the hope it's been reinstated (only for it to be invariable cancelled again later)
