Title: Sssshh - don't tell the customers what's really going on ... Post by: grahame on July 21, 2026, 07:01:01 Swindon Advertiser (https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/26292693.historic-swindon-railway-cancellation-service-reduced/)
Quote Swindon and Cricklade Railway has said its Diesel Service to Farfield Lane could not go ahead on Sunday. The company has said the “reduced service” took place, due to “unforeseen circumstances”. "The Diesel Service to Farfield lane has been cancelled. “A replacement Wickham Trolley service will be departing from Blunsdon and making regular trips to Swindon Mouldon Hill only. The TASC will also be available for rides." From Station announcements at Dusseldorf Yesterday Quote We are sorry about this train being delayed. This is because the train is late It strikes me that reasons given aren't reasons ... cop-outs to avoid admitting the issue. And what is a TASC??
