More signalling problems

« on: April 06, 2011, 13:25:14 »

From FGW^▸ website

Wednesday 6 April 2011 12:50
Train services are being disrupted due to signalling problems between Bristol Parkway and Swindon. As a result First Great Western services between London Paddington and South Wales in both directions are being diverted via an alternative route and will not call at Bristol Parkway but will call additionally at Filton Abbey Wood. Replacement road transport is in operation between Bristol Parkway and Filton Abbey Wood in both directions. Extended journey times of up to 45 minutes can be expected.

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.
