The withdrawal of the peak local train (Warminster to Westbury) from passenger service last December has made getting to the meeting awkward - or would have done - from Dilton Marsh.  Thank you to GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) who have - for this one day only - added a stop at 18:08 on less-local train.

Thank you for arranging the stop on 1F26 at Dilton Marsh on 18th March (2026) for the West Wiltshire Rail User Group.

I understand that in additions to WWRUG meeting folks, 3 people got off and 2 joined the train, even though it was a one-off and had only been in the journey planner for a couple of days.   According to logging information, the train was 8.5 minutes late from Warminster, and 9.75 minutes late into Westbury, and I understand from a passenger who travelled on the train that even after the Dilton March stop, it was still checked to virtually another halt appropaching signal W305.  This "habit" looks to be very similar to other days, both looking at logs and listening to passenger comments.

Personally I prefer to write from my own experience rather than reports and had intended to travel to Dilton Marsh to catch the train.   However, the 15:40 from Melksham did not leave until until 17:30 - so late that it missed the connection to Dilton Marsh at Westbury.
