There are delays at Gloucester Railway Station after a crash between two trains near the station.

Delays of up to 50 minutes are expected following the collision between two trains earlier this evening.

The crash happened at 'very low speed' according to Three Counties Transport Police.

Great Western Railway expects the delays to last until the end of the day's service.

Fewer trains are running from Gloucester while the investigation is underway.

The issue is currently under investigation by Great Western Railway. No one is thought to have been injured in the crash.

150938 and 150265 involved,

If I'm not mistaken 150938 is the hybrid formed from the unit involved in the Plymouth collision last year?
