2U09 (07:59 Exeter St Davids to Cardiff Central due 10:24) has just passed Bradford Junction and has got to Avoncliff - logically enough.

 

Rarely a problem with extra trains between Westbury and Bradford Junction - the throttle point is, I believe, between Avoncliff and Bathampton with long signalling section(s).   There will probably be the regular Sunday service through Melksham, and a couple of steam excursions.   Hopefully people will have gone out to see them yesterday, and anyone on the platform today will stand well back behind the yellow line.
