Title: Landslip between Bristol TM & Weston Super Mare
Post by: anthony215 on April 09, 2012, 21:35:34
Seems there has been a landslip between Weston Super Mare & Bristol TM.

It seems to involve cutting on the Down side, Bristol end of Flax Bourton Tunnel from what I have just read on WNXX

I suspect this is going to cause some issues tommorow morninng unless it can be quickly cleared up and the damage repaired overnight.

Train services running through these stations are returning to normal but some services may still be delayed by up to 90 mins or revised at short notice. Disruption is expected until 23:15 09/04.

Arrangements previously made to convey passengers by replacement road transport have now been cancelled.
Cross Country services are conveying passengers via any reasonable route until further notice. Arrangements have been made for First Great Western rail tickets to be accepted for these journeys.
