From the FGW▸ (First Great Western) website ;-

14:00 Weymouth to Bristol Temple Meads due 16:19
This train will be terminated at Bristol Temple Meads. This is due to a member of train crew being unavailable.

Well the service. if the above message is correct, is only schedules to run to BTM▸ (Bristol Temple Meads (strictly, it should be BRI)) anyway so why put out such tripe.

I also note that at the time I checked and found the above Service Incident, 6 out of the 7 Service Incidents listed were all due to a member of train crew being unavailable.

Later, I checked again and all 8 out of the 8 Service Incidents listed were for the same reason including ;-

17:07 Weston-super-Mare to Weymouth due 19:59
This train will be started from Bristol Temple Meads. It will no longer call at: Weston-Super-Mare, Weston Milton, Worle, Yatton, Nailsea & Backwell and Bedminster. This is due to a member of train crew being unavailable.
