That sounds like they ran it direct ( i.e. avoiding the Weston loop ) to recover time?

This is very annoying at short notice, but unfortunately is not unusual - if they didn't offer you alternative transport from Nailsea to Weston, you should be able to make a delay repay claim.

They put us on next an hour later but of dirty trick seeing as delay was short
Although I suspect it was just done to claw back the delay , there is also the possibility that there wouldn’t have been the line capacity at Weston

Not good convenience for us as we had to wait an extra hour and my partner who was with me is disabled
