BTW▸ ('by the way') I think they cleared that broken down freight train fairly promptly; it might have been better to stay at BTM▸ (Bristol Temple Meads station (strictly, it should be BRI) but BTM is a commonly used alternative)) and wait for the next 'normal' Melksham route via Bath instead of hopping on the diverted 17:29. Can't be bothered to check, might not like the answer Smiley

Looking at what happened to the Transwilts service last night, if you'd waited any longer you may well still be travelling now!

As I was 78 mins late I only claimed for a 60-119 mins delay, 50% of a return ticket, but they've refunded the full £10.25 Cool
