06:44 - a 153 running 4 minutes late. 2 passengers on the train when it arrived in Melksham.  1 off and 2 on; the through passenger was an FGW employee, and I was one of the two on.   All three of us off at Trowbridge - just crew on to Westbury.

07:17 - a 158 running a couple of minutes late.  Somewhere around 30 on from Trowbridge, 2 off and 2 on at Melksham.  I took the opportunity of the few minutes ride to walk up and down and chat with old friends.  Seems to be a substantial majority of them who find the new timing far too early - not one person said "the new times are great".   They were also talking about the evening train being too late at the moment.

I was on the 1841 from Swindon tonight, 2 off 0 on at Melksham
