Title: Closure west of Great Malvern - Thursday 4/6/10
Post by: Adrian the Rock on June 05, 2010, 12:21:23
I got caught up in disruption coming back from Birmingham to Malvern on Thursday because of an emergency line closure west of Malvern Wells.   The only apology message I half caught I think mentioned something about "lineside equipment failure".

Anyone here know what had actually happened?

It was a broken rail - a bad one that could not be clamped, so buses replaced trains till close of service.
