Issues with contaminated biofuel have been covered elsewhere but does anyone know what service SWR are running this week? Journey check says a 'revised service will operate until Friday 28th. I'm hoping there will be enough units to run something to Waterloo in the peaks

South Western Railway's website states:
  • One train per hour will run between Basingstoke and Salisbury and one train every two hours will run between Salisbury and Exeter St Davids
  • One train every two hours will run between Southampton and Salisbury via Romsey and services to Westbury and Yeovil Pen Mill will not run

SWR will reinstate a full service from tomorrow:
We are reinstating the full West of England timetable on Friday 28 April.
To restore services as soon as possible, engineers at SWR’s Salisbury train care depot have performed enhanced maintenance on all affected trains.

Fuel tanks at the depot, which provide 35,000 litres of fuel to the diesel fleet every day, have been deep cleaned and are also using fresh fuel. These steps have restored train performance, allowing services to gradually be restored.

Noticed yesterday some had been reinstated from London, 1823 in particular. Alas didn’t notice until too late so had to stay in The Wellington a little longer before leaving
