21 December: (Another) update on journey Keynsham-OldfieldPk 1656 to Weymouth.
Had been tracking it on internet live departure boards - seemed to run from Malvern but failed somewhere around Gloucester - then they listed it as cancelled...
(FGW seemed unable to decide whether it was going to run from the section from Bristol TempleMeads. Just left it listed as no report)
Didnt want to take the chance of waiting in freezing conditions at Keynsham for no train, based on my experience on Monday.
Instead had to arrange at much inconvenience alternative transport by car with delays to all concerned.
Note that the earlier 1550 Keynsham -Oldfield service ran late - only arrived at 1601 (according to the departure boards)
