The 17.59 from Chiippenham was cancelled again tonight 10/1/06, and the bus driver did not know the way to Melksham.

It probably started from Westbury ... and carried on to Southampton. I don't believe it then counts as a cancellation in the opertors's statistics  ... Geeze, dunno what to say, Sion. I'm very tempted to write a web spider to gather statistics automatically, except that the line departure boards web site specically bans spiders. What would you guess the stats are for that train? Cancelled 1 in 5 days? 1 in 10? 1 in 20? |

It did start at Westbury (according to BBC Radio Wilts travel news)
I have had similar experinces on substitute buses - Once on the way back to Chippenham the bus driver had to ask passengers the way to the station, another time he took a circuitous route to get there.
