Left Fratton on time, but cancelled from Warminster onwards due to 'an issue with train crew'.
As I catch this from Trowbridge, and the next service to Bristol (07:05 Cardiff) was showing as (just) 'delayed', I decided to catch the bus from Melksham to Bath instead of the 06:32 train to Trowbridge. Of course the Cardiff train subsequently ran normally

4:50 Fratton - Bristol cancelled again, at Trowbridge anyway - it's running (about 50 mins late) but missing out a number of stations. Blamed on crew shortages.
6:42 Frome - Cardiff is ok today though, so an extra 20 mins on Trowbridge platform (waiting room closed) but not too bad.

(the 6:32 to Trowbridge (eventually Southampton) becomes the 6:29 next week)A very interesting morning. Much learning, though no massive surprises. Thawing out over a coffee then out for lunch with the Bowerhill Villager team.
