UPDATE The 11.30 Weymouth to Gloucester will now start from Westbury so no trains in the up direction until 13.30. Not good.

There will be be a replacement bus for the 09.30 service:

Quote
09:30 Weymouth to Gloucester due 12:56

09:30 Weymouth to Gloucester due 12:56 will be started from Westbury.

It will no longer call at Weymouth, Upwey, Dorchester West, Maiden Newton, Chetnole, Yetminster, Thornford, Yeovil Pen Mill, Castle Cary, Bruton and Frome.

This is due to a shortage of train crew.

Further Information
We're sorry for the disruption to your journey.

A coach operated by South Dorset Coaches has been arranged leaving Weymouth at 09:30 calling at Dorchester West (09:48), Yeovil Pen Mill (10:26), Castle Cary (10:49), Frome (11:21) and Westbury (11:36 arrival).
For other stations, there is a taxi operated by Bath Taxis leaving Weymouth at 09:30 calling at Upwey (09:40), Dorchester West (09:51), Maiden Newton (10:08), Chetnole (10:20), Yetminster (10:27), Thornford (10:30), Yeovil Pen Mill (10:38), Castle Cary (11:01), Bruton (11:13), Frome (11:37) and Westbury (11:52 arrival).

From GWR▸ (Great Western Railway):

Quote
Alterations to services between Weymouth and Westbury
Due to a shortage of train crew between Weymouth and Westbury:
Train services running to and from these stations may be revised. Disruption is expected until 12:00 14/06.
Customer Advice
Owing to a shortage of train crew we are unable to operate the full advertised timetable of train services between Weymouth and Westbury this morning.

A limited combination of coaches and MPV's will operate over this section of line but kindly note owing to the local road layout the larger vehicles are unable to serve many of the stations which will be served by the MPV's instead. Any customers at Weymouth who had intended to travel to Westbury or beyond on the 09:30 and 11:30 departures may use their tickets to travel on South Western Railway services to Southampton Central and change there for GWR services to Westbury and Bristol.

It must be getting to the situation whereby it would be cheaper for GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) to have their own fleet of minibus(s) and deckers dotted around the network.
As they used to have x years ago..

Whilst they might be able to call on Transport Solutions, availability of staff and vehicles is sketchy these days.
