Lisa and I celebrating the New Year tonight - firstly because we like to be ahead of the game, and secondly because I want to be up early on 1st January to catch the first train of the year!

Additional Information
Replacement road transport has been arranged to run in lieu of this train service. There will be a Travel Southwest minibus running.

Please check the stations Onward Travel Information poster and wait for the replacement road transport at the designated stop.

The replacement road transport may run later than the advertised train times owing to the additional time taken by road between stations and the time required for loading and unloading at each stop.

You may also use your ticket, at no extra cost, on train services changing at Bath Spa

Additional information added just after 15:50.
