Thanks for the heads up.
That change to the weekday Swindon evening peak from 17:35 to 17:45 is a pain - it means arriving at Melksham at 18:09 instead of 17:59. On a Monday evening I need to leave the house at about 18:35 for band rehearsal in Bristol, and by the time I've walked the 1.6 miles back home from the station it's already a bit tight. It doesn't help that it's not unusual for that service to be delayed by a few minutes - 2 mins yesterday.
Looking at earlier options from Bristol (currently 17:00) - both the 15:00 (via Chippenham) and 15:45 (Trowbridge) have scheduled connection gaps of only 5 mins, which isn't ideal. I'll take a look at the bus timetables to see which might provide the best plan B.
