Title: Two line side fires in one day? Post by: Mookiemoo on June 22, 2010, 16:16:06 Seems a bit of a coincidence

Title: Re: Two line side fires in one day? Post by: devon_metro on June 22, 2010, 18:04:52 Will only be one lineside fire. Both routes stated overlap.
Title: Re: Two line side fires in one day? Post by: JayMac on June 22, 2010, 18:24:36 The two routes merge at Patchway. So the lineside fire would be somewhere between there and Newport. I think we can exclude the tunnel though - bit too damp in there!!
UPDATE: National Rail Enquiries says that the lineside fire is/was in the Severn Tunnel Junction area. Title: Re: Two line side fires in one day? Post by: Ollie on June 22, 2010, 19:50:42 Lineside fire was near East Usk.

Post by: James158 on June 23, 2010, 01:12:51 Severe delays occured on Tuesday 22nd June 2010 due to a lineside fire between Bristol Temple Meads/Bristol Parkway and Newport (South Wales) due to a lineside fire. According to the National Rail Enquiries website the lineside fire was near Severn Tunnel Junction. This caused severe delays to trains to/from London Paddington, Cardiff Central and Swansea. Portsmouth Harbour services were starting/terminating at Bristol Parkway. Limited road transport operated between Bristol Parkway and Newport (South Wales).
Does anybody know how the lineside fire started? Title: Re: Two line side fires in one day? Post by: Glovidge on June 23, 2010, 22:32:38 Today was a bit rubbish if you were travelling on FGW services. Power cuts in West London I believe causing a signalling fault. So thats 3 consecutive days of delays and cancellations?
