Disruption and cancellations Cardiff-Portsmouth
Today the 1206 Gloucester to Weymouth was cancelled (faulty train)
The 12:30 Cardiff-Portsmouth which follows it, started at Cardiff with 5cars, was reduced to 3 cars at Bristol, then lost 8 minutes by time got to Trowbridge and was terminated at Westbury.
(What bright spark in control thinks it is a good idea to try and put a 3car & 5car train passengers into a single 3car, then hope the door congestion doesn't affect keeping time)
Real time trains suggesting following Portsmouth train only got as far as Westbury too
