This is due to engineering works not being finished on time.

With the star over Melksham,we can be sure that it is indicating the beaded wise man from the east has arrived.
Only one question remains...where/who are the other two?

06:35 Salisbury to Worcester Foregate Street due 09:47

06:35 Salisbury to Worcester Foregate Street due 09:47 will be reinstated.
It will be started from Westbury.
It will no longer call at Salisbury and Warminster.
This is due to a shortage of train crew.

People sometimes ask "why do railway signals have the red light at the bottom, but road traffic lights have the red light at the top"

It's tempting to be cynical and say that DfT, the Government, ORR and GBR may have no great incentive to address any matters in their control until the succeeding arrangements are in place so that they can demonstrate that the new order has achieved something?

I take it the star over Melksham shows Graham is in residence 

A mother has vowed to fight for justice for her 15-year-old daughter who was electrocuted on railway tracks, as the coroner says police failings may be to blame.

An inquest into the death of Roxy will be heard by a jury after the senior coroner said there was reason to suspect the acts or omissions of police were causative or contributory to her death.

Roxy died in the early hours of March 23, 2023 after she was electrocuted by the 750 volt third rail on the tracks near Weymouth train station.

Hmm. 

The poll is somewhat skewed, in that it's asking in 'this year'. Bearing in mind that we're already nearly into December of 'this year', there's clearly no way that's going to happen.

I'd suggest changing the first two options to, respectively, '2025', '2026' ...

Speaking at the Rail North Committee on Wednesday (November 20), Northern's chief operating officer Matt Rice said the operator will need 'big timetable changes' to meet its target, suggesting there could be a reduction in services as soon as next month. He said: "Giving customers a predictable offering I think is more important than trying to give them something that might be an aspiration."

Northern's train woes won't be fixed until 2027, rail operator warns

Train cancellations have come down but rail bosses admit it's still 'not good enough' - and it will take as long as three years to fix

But bosses have warned that, even with this [union] agreement in place, Northern won't meet its 'ambitious' targets until 2027. It comes as the operator sets out its plan to cut cancellations to 2 per cent with 90 per cent of services arriving no more than three minutes late.

Mr Rice told the committee, which is chaired by Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham, that if union members vote against a new deal relating to train conductors working on Sundays, the operator will aim to give passengers up to four weeks' notice about any changes to services over the Christmas period. It comes as Northern aims to notify passengers of cancellations further in advance.
