Waterloo - Temple Meads?

[sjoh]

What's happened to SWT services from Waterloo to Bristol? I know they aren't frequent but hadn't realised they'd been dropped?

They are all shown as Salisbury "starters" as the bulk of them split off from Exeter services at Salisbury:

They all split off (actually the 06:40 isn't as the corresponding Exeter, if there is one [1L14] starts at Salisbury as well) , but I thought they were listed as through as well (only as to form or as separate portion in simple), but it isn't for some reason!

Yes, they say they split but twice now I've been on an Exeter/Bristol service, saying it divides at Salisbury, and it gets to Salisbury and passengers for Bristol are told to cross over to the other platform where another SWT 159 is waiting! Then the original train didn't split, just continued to Exeter!

That surprises me! Do you know why?

At the other end of the line, the SWT Waterloo trains seem to be shown as either 'London Waterloo' or 'London Waterloo via Salisbury' on GWR electronic display boards M-F and just as 'Salisbury' on Saturdays.
