15:23 Portsmouth Harbour to Bath Spa due 17:44

15:23 Portsmouth Harbour to Bath Spa due 17:44 will be terminated at Westbury.
It will no longer call at Trowbridge, Bradford-On-Avon and Bath Spa.
This is due to a fault on this train.
Will be formed of 3 coaches instead of 4.

Prediction of a fault 10 hours ahead?  And in the absence of 153 single carriage trains, this strikes me as a change to a completely different train!

With Bath Spa to Bristol closed, there'a already a modified service running from Portsmouth just to Bath Spa ... or not running whole way ... or now some re-instated.  "staff shortage".  I suspect that some Bristol crew who normally drive (trains) to Westbury aren't doing so and resources are stretched beyond what's available.  16:23 Westbury to Swindon cancelled, of course
