Coincidentally(??), the same train as was on the 17:50 Gloucester to Salisbury yesterday (165132 according to RTT» (Real Time Trains - website)).

Swapping units at Westbury this morning caused an eleven minute delay to the TransWilts train, but presumably there were working toilets on the substitute train (and an extra carriage), so not all bad news (unless you were on the Castle Cary to Filton train without a working loo from Westbury….)

Just back from a week in Lanzarote, and was pleasantly surprised to find my 0721 Melksham-Chippenham train on time this morning. But it didn't last - the Paddington service that precedes it into Chippenham was running a bit late, so mine was delayed and I just missed the (unofficial) connection with the 0734 Chippenham-Bristol service. Then the next 0809 was cancelled (train fault). And now the 0832 is showing as 'running late' by 11 mins.

Good to be back Smiley

Looks like a 'false' report - just 1 minute late off Westbury in the end

Indeed not anywhere near Wiltshire - actually this points failure mentioned by GBM elsewhere on the forum https://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=28556.msg359538#msg359538, which was in Cornwall.

I’ll concede the Twyford points failure didn’t help matters, but maintain that had the 05:03 Penzance to Paddington not lost over half an hour in Cornwall this morning due to a points failure, the train’s next working (1C77, with the TM▸ (Train Manager, or Ticket Machine, or Temple Meads (Bristol), depending on context) for the TransWilts on board), would probably not have been late enough into Westbury to have knocked-on to the 12:17 to Swindon.  Wink
