Line problem: between Warminster and Salisbury.
Owing to a train fault between Warminster and Salisbury Salisbury Bound lines are affected. Train services through these stations may be subject to disruption on all routes at short notice. An estimate for the resumption of normal services will be provided as soon as the problem has been fully assessed.
Additional Information:
Westbury signaller reports. After the passage of 1V02 06.40 Salisbury - Bristol T.M. a blockage of the up line will be taken to allow the driver to walk to the front of the train. Service will then move forward to Warminster, cross over and return to Westbury Yard.

Yes, that's why I thought it worth posting it - as an example of good communication by FGW.  :)

Yes, possibly a slip up and meant to be seen by Tyrellcheck users only, but in this case good extra information for those that know a little about railway operations.
