Title: Flood diversion(s) - Chippenham and Swindon Post by: grahame on January 04, 2014, 09:41:05 Quote 07:29 Exeter St Davids to London Paddington due 10:45 This train will no longer call at Chippenham and Swindon. This is due to flooding. Looks like it's diverted from Bath Spa via the Berks and Hants. Where's the water?

Quote Cancellations to services between Chippenham and Swindon Owing to flooding between Chippenham and Swindon trains have to run at reduced speed. Train services running through these stations may be cancelled or delayed at short notice. An estimate for the resumption of normal services will be provided as soon as the problem has been fully assessed.

The rain continues to fall over a large part of Southern England which has hardly moved for quite sometime now not helping the situation.

It would have to be west of the Junction at Wootton Bassett or the South Wates Trains would be affected.
