Quote Delays after person hit by train near Bristol Disruption is reported on train services between between Newport and Taunton, and between Newport and Reading due to a person being hit by a train at Pilning, just on the English side of the tunnel. All lines are blocked through the Severn Tunnel and journey times are extended by up to an hour. First Great Western does not have an estimate for a normal service. Not clear whether this sad incident was at Caldicot or Pilning.
