Are you saying that it ran in the end?I happened to have a customer who was going to leave on that train, booked with a "THIS TRAIN ONLY" ticket onward from Swindon. Long discussion with National Rail Enquiries and FGW, and I ended up driving the customer all the way to Swindon. Grr! See: http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=836. Note for any readers from FGW and the DfT. If you say a train is cancelled and have everyone make alternative arrangements, then run it after all, you must not be surprised if it's nearly empty |

I do wonder. For example, did the 1827 Southampton to Cheltenham Spa today, 08/11/07, end up running from Westbury instead? Does anyone know? It certainly wasn't able to start at Southampton and there was not even a unit waiting but a firm message that the problem was caused by a member of staff unavailable at Westbury on a preceding service. Did it turn up at Melksham I wonder?

It's shown according to my logs as being 10 minutes late at Melksham, and I noted in the very long log of changes that it was going to start from Romsey. Thats probably what happened, although the only was to truely know if a train ran and when it turned up is to go down to the station and watch it through! |
