Trains through Worcester seem to be having several problems today:

This train will be started from Worcester Foregate Street at 14:38. This train will no longer call at Great Malvern and Malvern Link.
This is due to a train fault.

Can anyone shed any light on these "disruptive passengers" at Ledbury and Gloucester?

The disruptive passengers at Gloucester and Ledbury are one and the same.

The Conductor for 1450 Malvern - Weymouth was assaulted at Malvern Link whilst working into Malvern.
Subsequent delay/cancellation for both services.

Also the Signalling problems was points failure at Abbotswood Jn.

And the 1426ex Malvern starting at Worcester was due to the Adelante playing up!

Later on, the trains were getting to be very fast indeed:

Quote

18:19 Worcester Shrub Hill to Great Malvern due 18:19
An additional train service has been planned to operate as shown 13/06/12 18:19 Worcester Shrub Hill to Great Malvern due 18:19.
This is due to signalling problems.

'Level crossings on the railway network are safe - unless they are used in an unsafe manner.' Discuss.

William Huskisson MP was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
