15:32 London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads due 17:05

15:32 London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads due 17:05 will be terminated at Swindon.
It will no longer call at Chippenham, Bath Spa and Bristol Temple Meads.
This is due to industrial action.
Will be formed of 8 coaches. First class not available. Catering is not available.

Due, perhaps, to the electrification running out between Swindon and Chippenham?

and the following train:

16:33 London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads due 18:10

16:33 London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads due 18:10 will be cancelled.
This is due to industrial action.

Last train off Paddington to call at Chippenham shown at the 19:32 as I write

1532 booked as Cl 387 so yes the wires run out, hence terminating short. Source RTT» (Real Time Trains - website)
