17 December: Update on journey Keynsham-OldfieldPk1656 to Weymouth didn't appear at Keynsham. Suspect that since the livedepartureboards had been reporting the first section of this train (originating in Malvern) as cancelled for the Malvern->BristolTM stage all afternoon; i rapidly concluded that it had been cancelled......with no announcement...1. the passenger (dis)information button gave the wrong time and 'sorry we cannot give train info at this time msg' (as per normal, time hasnt been right since at least BST end?)2. the 484950 text service gave 'no report' on it at 1656, and then just forgot about it altogether when i requeried at 1657.Service, what service?Had to cycle home instead. Bl*** annoying since was late for a nursery pickup. Do you think FGW will reimburse me the £10-£20 latepickup fee? I doubt it - even though i bought a ticket for their service this morning on the way to work.... and hence entered into a provision of service contract with them (surely something like that?)...
