If you are at Swindon or Chippenham travelling to Trowbridge or Westbury you should travel on
the 19:56 Bristol Temple Meads service from Swindon (20:08 from Chippenham) and change at
Bath Spa for the 20:35 Warminster service which calls at Trowbridge (20:53) and
Westbury (21:00). However, if you are at Swindon or Chippenham earlier, you may take the first
available service via Bath Spa, via Melksham tickets will be accepted via Bath spa.
-
If you are travelling to Melksham you should change at Chippenham for the rail replacement taxis which will depart for Melksham, Trowbridge and Westbury.
-
If you are at Melksham we will provide road transport to Trowbridge and Westbury from the
station car park.

That train was operated by two 158s - including 158766 which had covered the last train from Swindon to run prior to the cancellations.    May be a way of getting it back to Bristol for proper attention by the fitters.

Understable with lines closed all over the place by lines that are flooded.  Not, as far as I can see, on the lines these trains would have used but these of all the services over the line are those which probably have the most complex stock and crew rostering

Indeed.  So remaining Swindon - Chippenham services that carried on to Westbury were more important than usual.  Some cancelled from an already thin schedule and I suspect complex staff interworking caused this.

And for today ...
