Spotted that, went to more info, and it was gone.

Mystery derailed train?

But it is apparently a freight train that has de-railed, believe near Pewsey?

As an update National Rail have added their bit.

Train services are being disrupted due to a derailed freight train between Pewsey and Westbury. Replacement road transport is in operation, calling at all stations between Newbury and Westbury. Alterations and delays of up to 30 minutes can be expected and some services may be diverted via Swindon, therefore extending journey times. There is currently no estimate for a normal service to resume.

Two wagons of the 6C66 16:33 Moorswater to Westbury empty LaFarge cement train have derailed at Heywood Road near Westbury. One wagon has gone down the embankment, other still attatched to the train. Services able to pass at reduce speed, shouldnt cause to much chaos....
