A quick heads up. There are reports on a Severn Beach Line Facebook page that there has been a problem with a level crossing between Avonmouth and
SB▸ today resulting in all services going no further than Avonmouth. That's all I've heard but if you are thinking of going to Severn Beach today you might want to check first before packing your bucket and spade!

Alterations to services between Avonmouth and Severn Beach
Due to a fault with barriers at a level crossing between Avonmouth and Severn Beach the line is blocked.
Train services running to and from these stations will be terminated at Avonmouth. Severn Beach and St Andrews Road will not be served. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
Customer Advice
We are sorry for the delay to your journey this morning.
One of the barriers on the level crossing at St Andrews Road has been damaged by strong winds overnight. As the barriers cannot be lowered, we are not able to run any trains over the level crossing.
The busy nature of the road, that gives access to Avonmouth Docks, means it is not possible to close the road to allow trains to run. Network Rail are still working to source parts to repair the barrier, but the repair will be done overnight.
For the rest of the day services between Bristol Temple Meads and Severn Beach will terminate at Avonmouth and start back there towards Bristol Temple Meads.
