I now understand the signalling problem was discovered around 01:30 today.
With affected GWR▸ operational staff getting phone calls around 2 hours later ... one used the word "inevitable" which rather sums up the unofficial view of a potential overrun  |

Noticed that a 12:42 to Frome, leaving Gloucester has the Westbury stop shown on the screen on plat 2. Why is this if the stations closed still.

Given it isn't due to call at Westbury until 14:36 there may be a decision pending on whether it will call there or not. If there is a chance it could, probably best to leave it on the screens.

What are people going to do, if they have bought a ticket, then it gets terminated somewhere. |

It didn't go through Westbury station, took the curve and reversed onto Westbury avoiding line.

Not so sure - Journeycheck suggests it is being terminated at Temple Meads 12:42 Gloucester to Frome due 14:49
12:42 Gloucester to Frome due 14:49 will be terminated at Bristol Temple Meads.
It will no longer call at Keynsham, Oldfield Park, Bath Spa, Freshford, Avoncliff, Bradford-On-Avon, Trowbridge, Westbury and Frome.
This is due to engineering works not being finished on time. |

Just approaching plat 1 at BPW» now.
Just gone onto relief line.
And then into plat 7. At BTM▸ .
It has left BTM, But went off the map, so do not know where its going.
NOTE: this is absolutely incredible, now its coming back up the rhubarb curve, then on main towards FAW.
Looks like it,s coming back up to Gloucester, Why it went towards bath we,ll probably never know, must be a last second change of plan.

 If nothing else, today's problems at Westbury have illustrated how important a station it is - and why ensuring suitable connections are provided in future timetables for passengers using it as an interchange is vital. |
