Times shown with "**" in front are the times of thw train between Swindon and Westbury. Other times shown are for connecting train arrivals / departures at each station. Time in brackets refer to departures or arrivals from the other stations named.

Note that a time shown doesn't guarantee a connection and these are draft timetables.   I'm concerned at the 1 minute connection off the evening train at Westbury on to Frome, and the 1 minute connection at Westbury to London off the morning train; I think that there might be a platform shortange and the train from Swindon may in fact be run a few minutes later and arrive at the platform that's just been vacated.

I also notice that there are 2 trains 10 minutes apart in the evening from Swindon to Gloucester and I question whether the train shown above connecting off the 19:13 from Westbury will run.  The First of the two trains leaves Swindon just BEFORE the train from Westbury arrives, so does not provide a connection.
