05:11 Gloucester to Southampton Central due 08:10
05:11 Gloucester to Southampton Central due 08:10 was terminated at Swindon.
It will no longer call at Chippenham, Melksham, Trowbridge, Westbury, Dilton Marsh, Warminster, Salisbury, Romsey and Southampton Central.
This is due to a shortage of train crew. 06:35 Salisbury to Worcester Foregate Street due 09:47
06:35 Salisbury to Worcester Foregate Street due 09:47 will be terminated at Westbury.
It will no longer call at Trowbridge, Melksham, Chippenham, Swindon, Kemble, Stroud, Stonehouse, Gloucester, Cheltenham Spa, Ashchurch For Tewkesbury, Worcester Shrub Hill and Worcester Foregate Street.
This is due to a shortage of train crew. There ARE additional trains Westbury to Southampton and Swindon to Worcester. What is lacking is any service a t all, or any customer advice for passengers travelling between Swindon and Westbury. It may be "just one round trip", but it's all we have got - or to be accurate NOT got. |

Somewhat ironically....... 07:54 Swindon to Worcester Foregate Street due 09:47 Additional 07:54 Swindon to Worcester Foregate Street due 09:47 will be cancelled. This is due to train crew being delayed. |

Another decent week last week for Melksham, with one cancellation each way on the Saturday and Sunday giving a 96.6% reliability score from the Monday to Sunday.
96.6% ran again last week. I'm sure this week will be much more challenging. |

96.6% ran again last week. I'm sure this week will be much more challenging. Agree that figure though with at least two trains flagged up on journey planner / check stuff as cancelled which then actually ran, the customer view figure might be just under 95%. This week WILL be more challenging - started with 2 cancellations due to "shortage of train crew" and with weather issues anticipated ... |

Yes, as you've said it's virtually impossible to quantify that as it's a moving target. For example, an early afternoon train, say the 14:18 Westbury to Swindon, showing at 4:30am as cancelled but then reinstated at 7am is likely to have much less of a 'customer view figure' than if it was reinstated at 1pm. I remain of the opinion that start-of-service early morning journeycheck entries should show ' may be cancelled' - with a note to say every effort is being made to run it and to check back later. That could automatically change to ' will be cancelled' three hours before departing its origin station if it hasn't been reinstated by then as it's far less likely it will be. |

17:50 Gloucester to Salisbury due 20:06
17:50 Gloucester to Salisbury due 20:06 was terminated at Westbury.
It will no longer call at Dilton Marsh, Warminster and Salisbury.
This is due to a fault on this train. |

18:37 Westbury to Swindon due 19:21
20:12 Swindon to Westbury due 20:56
20:12 Swindon to Westbury due 20:56 will be cancelled.
This is due to train crew being delayed by service disruption. Both these ran in the end albeit with a delay of 25 minutes on the 18:37. They, like most of the TransWilts services today, were operated by 158748 which was running with the windows open after the air cooling/conditioning failed. I suspect it was not alone. |

The 05:11 Gloucester - Southampton Central is 'delayed', or over 35 mins late if it sets off as I'm writing this.

...and unsurprisingly "This journey has been cancelled because of more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time". |
