Cancellations to services between Bristol Parkway and Yate
Due to a points failure between Bristol Parkway and Yate the line towards Gloucester is closed.
Train services running through these stations may be cancelled, delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until 14:00 30/04.
Customer Advice
We're sorry for any disruption this brings to your travel plans today.
Additional Information
Points allow trains to switch between different tracks. When points fail, some parts of the railway can become congested or even blocked. Points can fail due to many reasons, such as debris, cold weather, or even due to the fail-safe system activating.
