As far as I can tell, we haven't had a SINGLE train run the whole way from Westbury to Swindon (or vice versa) since before Christmas - buses running on weekdays and Saturday (Why? There have NOT been engineering works on the route) and on Sundaythe train one ran 1.5 return trips between Westbury and Chippenham. As someone posted elsewhere "surely it must get better". Well it can't get much worse, can it?

There has been engineering works on the line Swindon to Gloucester I understand.

Indeed there has, Sion. And I know that line is linked to the TransWilts for the operational convenience of First Great Western. But think about it ... if there are engineering works between Plymouth and Penzance, do First cancel the trains over the whole of the Paddington to Penzance route and make everyone use a bus from London? No, they don't - they are perfectly capable of turning trains around in a different pattern at Plymouth! |
