Title: Fatality at Trowbridge - 23 May 2009 Post by: John R on May 23, 2009, 09:21:44 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/wiltshire/8064872.stm
It would appear most services are being divered via Melksham (including the first loco hauled run). My sympathies both to the family of the deceased and to the train crew. Title: Re: Fatality at Trowbridge - 23 May 2009 Post by: ReWind on May 23, 2009, 11:34:31 I presume the fatality occured North of Bradford Junction for this to happen then.
FGW website doesn't state what services are being diverted. Title: Re: Fatality at Trowbridge - 23 May 2009 Post by: devon_metro on May 23, 2009, 12:42:20 0909 Bristol - Weymouth ran normal route
1F01 was service affected. (0549 Bristol - Ports) Title: Re: Fatality at Trowbridge - 23 May 2009 Post by: John R on May 23, 2009, 12:51:52 Yes, they obviously reopened the line just before, although it was delayed a bit.
Title: Re: Fatality at Trowbridge - 23 May 2009 Post by: devon_metro on May 23, 2009, 12:57:38 Yeh, it did however call additionally at Freshford and Avoncliff, the latter which cannot take a 4 coach rake of Mk2s, so presume passengers were loaded through the BSO which would have caused a delay.
