Route(s) affected

Great Western Railway between Bristol Temple Meads and Salisbury and also between Cardiff Central and Portsmouth Harbour

South Western Railway between London Victoria / Yeovil Junction and Salisbury

Description

Trains between Westbury and Salisbury are returning to normal following a fault with the signalling system between these stations.

Whilst service recovers, trains may run at a reduced speed resulting in your journey being delayed by up to 30 minutes or revised.

Additionally, there has been a vehicle striking a bridge at Freshford meaning all lines are blocked. Trains running between Bath Spa and Westbury may be cancelled or diverted. Freshford, Avoncliff and Bradford-On-Avon will not be served.

This disruption is expected until 14:00.

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. If these are peak services or less flexible, you can still travel with your original ticket, at no extra cost.

Where possible some train services will divert, meaning not all intermediate stations will be served, but a fairly limited service is expected.

Road transport has been requested; we will provide updates should it be confirmed.
