Trains running through Dilton Marsh are significantly changed due to a landslip blocking the line further south. Local trains that would normally call at Dilton Marsh have for the most part been withdrawn south of Westbury. Additional calls have been inserted into the hourly Cardiff to Salisbury (at present) service at times near to the times that services usually call. The timetabling has been completed over the last 24 hours; timetabling systems are just starting to reflect the changes. The following appear accurate already:

"Disruption is expected until the end of the day on 31/03/20" say
GWR▸ on their JourneyCheck application. I would suggest that is no more than an informed best estimate of the line reopening at present.
I have been in touch with GWR to highlight the severe effect on Dilton Marsh of the current service changes that had to be planned; they have been landed with a lot of replanning at short notice, and the bigger passenger flows inevitably were dealt with as a priority. Good to see they have moved on to other effects such as Dilton Marsh and are providing alternative services there too. I should receive updates in due course - please revisit this page from time to time or follow @CoffeeShopCRP on Facebook ; the data will (of course) also be on GWR feeds but may feel drowned out on their feeds which cover the whole of their network.
