So is the 07:17 ....

First train to call at Melksham today .... 19:11 then ...(and that's assuming ...)

Reason givin - "signalling problems" .... a new one, and applied as far as I can see only to these two trains. I didn't think there were any signals on the line apar from those pn and off at the ends, and that's why you can't have two trains following each other at less that a 25 minute interval, when 5 minute intervals can be done elsewhere.

Background to this morning would be appreciated.

I did try for the 7.17 and it arrived on time, but arrived in Chippenham 8 minutes late. Had to wait to get onto the main line.

3 people got on at Melksham and was 150.
