Title: Odd incident on the Severn Beach Line - 31 August 2012 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on August 31, 2012, 11:31:19 From FGW JourneyCheck:
Quote 11:15 Avonmouth to Bristol Temple Meads due 11:49 This train will be terminated at Clifton Down at 11:27. This train will no longer call at Redland, Montpelier, Stapleton Road, Lawrence Hill and Bristol Temple Meads. This is due to a problem at a level crossing.

Title: Re: Odd incident on the Severn Beach Line - 31 August 2012 Post by: JayMac on August 31, 2012, 19:01:56 The 1115 from Avonmouth was terminated at Clifton Down and then turned round to head back to Severn Beach at 1129 so that services could get back on timetable.
An earlier outbound service from Bristol Temple Meads at 1034 was also terminated and turned at Clifton Down returning to Bristol TM as timetabled at 1048. Passengers on that train would've had a bit of a wait for the onward journey toward Avonmouth at 1129. But it appears that was the best solution to minimise delays, with only part cancellations. Although unit and staff diagrams were probably jiggered around.
