Route(s) affected

Description

Overrunning engineering works at Filton Abbey Wood mean that all lines are closed. As a result, trains can not run between Bristol Temple Meads and Severn Beach / Bristol Parkway / Cardiff Central and will be cancelled, delayed or revised to terminate at a different station on their route.

Disruption is expected until 10:30.

CrossCountry customer advice:

You can use your ticket at no extra cost on the following:

  • The two CrossCountry services operating before and after your cancelled service

  • Great Western Railway services between Penzance and Cheltenham Spa

If you decide to travel from a different station due to this disruption and need to return to that station later, you will also be able to use your existing ticket to do this at no extra cost

Unfortunately, any seat reservations will not be carried over to another train, but Coach B, H and L are our unreserved coaches on CrossCountry services (where available) so please head to them.

Great Western Railway customer advice:

If your train is cancelled, you may travel on either of the two services before, or two services after, your original train with your original ticket, at no extra cost.

If you miss a connection as a result of being delayed, you can use your ticket, at no extra cost, on the next available train.

Check before you travel:

You can check your journey using the National Rail Enquiries real-time Journey Planner.

Compensation:

You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.
