Description

There are communication issues affecting level crossings on several routes at Gloucester, meaning that trains have to run at a reduced speed on all lines. As a result, trains running through the Gloucester area may be cancelled, delayed by up to 45 minutes or revised.

Disruption is expected until 12:30.

CrossCountry customer advice:

Your ticket can be used at no extra cost on the two CrossCountry services operating before and after your cancelled service.

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.

Additional information:

Each train must be held at a level crossing before they can safely proceed, under instruction from the local Signaller. This is causing delays and congestion in the area.

Specialist teams are expected on site at about 10:40, where it is hoped they can fix the problem reasonably quickly.

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.
