From the FGW website :

12:51 Great Malvern to Weymouth due 17:10
This train will be terminated at Worcester Shrub Hill and restarted from Bristol Temple Meads at 14:49.It will no longer call at: Ashchurch For Tewkesbury, Cheltenham Spa, Gloucester, Cam & Dursley, Yate, Bristol Parkway, Filton Abbey Wood, Stapleton Road and Lawrence Hill.This is due to a train fault.

Why has Ashchurch been mothballed by FGW and XC/CT.

I was told by a local, that one day all the commuters who travelled to places such as Worcester or Birmingham turned up one day, only to find that their services no longer existed!

At least LM are going to fill some gaps with some magiced up 170s!

If they want numbers (and revenue) to go up, re-brand it as a parkway station for Tewkesbury and install some canopies and ticket machines.
