04:50 Fratton - Bristol Temple Meads cancelled

« on: December 01, 2025, 07:21:47 »

Left Fratton on time, but cancelled from Warminster onwards due to 'an issue with train crew'.

As I catch this from Trowbridge, and the next service to Bristol (07:05 Cardiff) was showing as (just) 'delayed', I decided to catch the bus from Melksham to Bath instead of the 06:32 train to Trowbridge. Of course the Cardiff train subsequently ran normally Undecided

4:50 Fratton - Bristol cancelled again, at Trowbridge anyway - it's running (about 50 mins late) but missing out a number of stations. Blamed on crew shortages.

6:42 Frome - Cardiff is ok today though, so an extra 20 mins on Trowbridge platform (waiting room closed) but not too bad.

..and nice to see Graham handing out timetables at Melksham at 6:30

(the 6:32 to Trowbridge (eventually Southampton) becomes the 6:29 next week)

A very interesting morning. Much learning, though no massive surprises. Thawing out over a coffee then out for lunch with the Bowerhill Villager team.
