Train services between Bath Spa and Chippenham are being disrupted due to a person hit by a train in the Bathampton Junction area.Short notice alterations, cancellations and delays of up to 30 minutes can be expected. 07:38 Paignton to London Paddington due 11:42 This train has been revised.It will additionally call at: Westbury.It will no longer call at: Chippenham and Swindon.This is due to a person hit by a train. 07:43 Penzance to London Paddington due 13:42 This train has been revised.It will no longer call at: Chippenham and Swindon.This is due to a person hit by a train. 10:00 London Paddington to Paignton due 13:47 This train has been revised.It will no longer call at: Chippenham and Bath Spa.This is due to a person hit by a train. 10:30 Bristol Temple Meads to London Paddington due 12:16 This train has been revised.It will no longer call at: Bath Spa and Chippenham.This is due to a person hit by a train. 10:30 London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads due 12:15 This train has been revised.This is due to a person hit by a train. 11:00 Bristol Temple Meads to London Paddington due 12:42 This train has been revised.It will no longer call at: Chippenham and Swindon.This is due to a person hit by a train. 11:30 Bristol Temple Meads to London Paddington due 13:15 This train has been revised.It will no longer call at: Bath Spa and Chippenham.This is due to a person hit by a train.

I hesitate to call them "fatalities" without being in possession of the full facts, so I have left it at "disruption" for now.
