Title: Re: Bristol/Bath/Bristol services on hold Post by: PhilWakely on August 26, 2019, 07:53:51 Quote Cancellations to services between Bristol Temple Meads and Westbury Due to a person being hit by a train between Bristol Temple Meads and Bath Spa all lines are closed. Disruption is expected until 09:00 26/08. Train services between Bristol Temple Meads and Westbury may be cancelled, delayed or revised.

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!
