OK ... so this weekend
Weekend update

Saturday:
1. Cancelled - replaced by bus
2. Short train
3. Short train
4. Ran as scheduled (I think)

Sunday
1. Cancelled - replace by bus
2. Cancelled
3. Running as scheduled (I think)

To be fair, a 153 is OK for the second train on Saturday, and with the up service bustituted the return train from Swindon (no. 3) would have been OK with a 153 too.   Good job Santa wasn't around.  Still  3 out of 7 cancelled (just one for engineering works) is another poor record.  Only 57% running against a 99% target!

Stop Press ... 24 late off Westbury as I speak - but apparently it IS on the way. For one moment I thought we were in for a no show to end the weekend!
