Overrunning weekend - TransWilts style
« on: March 25, 2008, 06:35:48 AM »

20080325   05:29   Gloucester   08:09   Southampton Central   short working, staffing issues

Full report: "This train will be started from Westbury.It will no longer call at: Gloucester, Stonehouse, Stroud, Kemble, Swindon, Chippenham, Melksham and Trowbridge.This is due to a member of train crew being unavailable. "

Why do cancellations on the TransWilts never surprise me - "here we go again ...."

20080325   07:02   Westbury   09:03   Cheltenham Spa

A train from Gloucester to Cheltenham - one stop - is a fat lot of use to anyone wanting to travel from Trowbridge or Melksham to Swindon.  But I'll bet it arrives at the end of its journey on time so doesn't actually get logged as cancelled or delayed!
