Incident reportedly at Broomhay User Worked Crossing (with telephone) in Bathpool near Taunton. So whilst there is mention of the line to Castle Cary being blocked it would also be the case that the line to Bristol is blocked as this location is before Cogload Junction.

The crossing is on an unadopted unsurfaced lane providing access to farm land. It may also be a public footpath.

The train involved is a Bristol to Taunton local service.
