In case you are monitoring cancellations generally, I have to say that I was at Chippenham on Saturday last, 29/09, waiting for my daughter off the 2005 from Paddington (2000 in the latest timetable update!), when I noticed that not only was it running late but so, too, was the Westbury train. Firstly retimed to 2121 (the due time for the one I was awaiting, which was retimed to 2126), an empty 125 stock sped through at 2120! It was then retimed twice (as was the Paddington - Bristol train), the final occasion to 2138, one minute after the Bristol train was due to depart. Needless to say, just before the Bristol train arrived the Westbury train was announced as cancelled! I'm only glad I hadn't told my daughter - who is very wary of trains at the best of times - to change at Swindon fron the connecting train and travel through to Melksham. She would have been utterly panic stricken.

Hello ... welcome ... and thanks for that input. Yes, we do "monitor" trains and keep a log; during the week it's relatively easy but at weekends our system doesn't work well due to all the engineering changes and bustitutions. So your report is very welcome. Of course the news of a cancellation that it contained isn't .... but if we had a reasonable and reliable service, we could put our energy into helping First promote their service rather than berating them, couldn't we?
