Due to a unit derailment early this morning, Westbury is stuffed until around 16:00. Apparently only P3 is open but HSTs are via avoider to Frome and Portsmouths are being cancelled but there was one on live updates thay was calling at Trowbridge and passing Westbury to Warminster somehow. There are 0B00's from Trowbridge to Westbury, as it says on updates 'all trains will additionally call at Trowbridge...as if they don't already :laugh: A good scenario for Westbury Simsig with Bristol chain!

Digital Doris has derailment in her repertoire of announcements surprisingly. I wondered what was up when she announced that at Bath this morning, though my trains weren't affected.

Apparently derailed whilst shunting at 5mph. Only had the driver on-board, who was unhurt. " said: Swindon MOM has had quite a night! Briefly misread that as 'Swindon MOM has had a quiet night!'.
