Last Saturday train, first Sunday train are buses, 23, 24 / 9

Is this news?   Not really ... it's news when the weekend trains actually all run  Shocked

It is notable that the train due into Westbury at 23:07 (Saturday) is replaced by a bus that doesn't even leave Swindon until 23:11, gets to Melksham at 00:11, and reaches Westbury at 00:41.   Is it any wonder that it doesn't get much traffic in the early hours of Sunday morning, over an hour and a half after the train it replaces.    Isn't the bus supposed to run at roughly the same time that the train would have run?
