Extra stops this morning!  There are three reports that I've noticed along these lines

20080609   06:00   Portsmouth Harbour   09:41   Cardiff Central   extra stop(s)
"This train has been revised.It will additionally call at: Mottisfont & Dunbridge and Dean. "

Mottisfont & Dunbridge and Dean are stations with FGW managed when they took over the franchise (and I think they still do), but they don't normally stop at any longer.   In this case, though, a "good news" story as South West trains now provide a far more frequent service ... a sane step for all.

This is due to problems at Salisbury depot early this morning.

Buses ran from Exeter to Salisbury, and FGW were accepting SWT tickets on Paddington Services after the derailment.  I heard that 8 SWT sets were trapped.
