Between Swindon and Bristol Parkway
Description
A fault with the signalling system between Swindon and Bristol Parkway means all lines are blocked between these stations. As a result of this, trains will be diverted via an alternative route, causing delays of around 25 minutes.
Disruption is expected until 18:00.
Customer advice:
Great Western Railway can run trains via an alternative route between Bath Spa to Bristol Parkway from Swindon. This will extend journey times by approximately 25 minutes.
As trains are still running you should travel as normal and catch your intended train.
