166204 pauses at Bath Spa station working the 08.46 Weymouth to Gloucester GWR service. My wife and I travelled on this train from Frome finding it busy but we felt perfectly 'covid safe'. This journey was unnecessarily slow due to a mysterious but timetabled twenty-minute dwell time at Westbury making the journey just under an hour. By road, all things being good, it should take half that time. It is things like this that will turn travellers away from the railways back to the roads.
