05:11 Gloucester to Southampton Central due 08:09
05:11 Gloucester to Southampton Central due 08:09 will be terminated at Salisbury.
It will no longer call at Romsey and Southampton Central.
It has been delayed at Westbury and is now 35 minutes late.
This is due to train crew being delayed by service disruption.
Sat in Westbury for 40 minutes ... an educated guest suggests that it was awaiting crew off the first train up from Fratton which was running very late for reasons not apparent. Through passengers from north of Trowbridge (yes, there are some!) will have been royally p*ssed at the delay, followed by the termination at Salisbury AFTER the South Western train onward to Southampton which could have provided an onward connection had left. |

  Plotted out from JourneyCheck - ALL cancellations across the GWR▸ area are mapped. I have screen captured just the central area - there's also a round trip cancelled between Newquay and Par When I woke this morning and checked train times, everything was shown as running. I was down there to hand out Melksham printed bus and train timetables to anyone who wanted them There were 18 Melksham passengers using the 08:02 this morning and a further 20 or so gathered at the station at a couple of minutes after 10, when the 10:10 slipped back to 10:12 then was shown "Cancelled" but perversely still showing "Calling at Chippenham and Swindon". The reason for the cancellation was only communicated when we enquired via the help point. This is the log thread - I will write up a "what should we learn" thread - although much should have been learned already - when I've sorted out a few other things. |

Certainly 2 round trips to Newquay cancelled as we speak. Possibly more to come! |

We also have an "unknown cause" on the later trains. Now up to ten out of 14 cancelled. Public post on Great Western Enthusiasts on Facebook ... here are the comments.  My guess too that it needs a deep clean. Must have been a sudden incident - nothing awry ad it left Melksham at 09:10 |

Yep, deep clean required! No ability to do that at Westbury seems a bit mad?

For want of a bucket (+ hot water, bleach and a sponge!) the train was lost! |

Human material can be infectious to other humans in ways that animal material is not. I wasn't being entirely serious. Looks like there is a bus replacement in place for at least one or two of the cancelled trips now. |
