Cancellations to services at Frome
Due to a fault with the signalling system at Frome fewer trains are able to run on some lines.
Train services running through this station will be cancelled or delayed. Disruption is expected until 10:00 01/04.
Customers at Frome heading towards Bristol Temple Meads and London Paddington are advised to travel onwards to Westbury, where there is a shuttle train service operating between Westbury and Frome. The same advice applies to any customers at Frome looking to travel South towards Weymouth of Portsmouth.
