Cancellations to services between Bristol Temple Meads and Westbury

Train services between Bristol Temple Meads and Westbury may be cancelled, delayed or revised.

Sensible turning of what I suspect was a Westbury to Bristol service at Bath Spa to provide a service up and down through Chippenham to Swindon.  Issue is near Keynsham - not yet confirmed that person was actually hit by a train (body near track), but it would seem likely.  Bus service from Bath to Bristol unlikely to be useful as buses running a Sunday schedule.  Think that means no x39 / skeleton service through Keynsham town.  At leat Bristol should not be bottlenecked!

It was the Frome to Cardiff service which was terminated at Bath and then sent to Swindon.   It then returned to Bath as an additional 08:45 from Swindon.

Was an additional incident at Parson Street late yesterday afternoon too
Very horrific scene by all accounts
