1702 & 1809 Melksham Trains Cancelled 14/11/2006
« on: November 14, 2006, 04:39:34 PM »

From the First Great Western Website :

16:47 Westbury to Swindon due 17:31

This train has been cancelled. This is due to a train fault.

17:43 Swindon to Southampton Central due 19:44

This train will be started from Westbury. It will no longer call at: Swindon, Chippenham, Melksham and Trowbridge. This is due to an earlier train fault.

I always find it most interesting how train faults always happen so that this particular train is cancelled, and can always be fixed in a couple of hours so that a shortened Westbury to Southampton train can run  Grin

My four customers - who are from a major organisation that I'm sure First would NOT want to get on the wrong side of - had to make alternative arrangements.   They'll probably not even want to TRY for the 17:02 on Friday evening ... but then perhaps a second cancellation out of two for them would make an excellent news story.
