Description
Overrunning engineering works between Avonmouth and Severn Beach mean the line is closed. As a result, trains will be revised to not run between these stations.
Disruption is expected until 11:00.
Customer advice:
Rail replacement transport will replace the first service between Avonmouth and Severn Beach in both directions.
If your train is cancelled, you may travel on either of the two services before, or two services after, your original train. If these are peak services or less flexible, you can still travel with your original ticket, at no extra cost.
