absolute nightmare?

gave up on getting the train from Bristol to Yatton after was told there was a two hour wait for a coach, as no trains were running.

got a bus instead, which couldn't go to Yatton because it was a flooded, so had to Clevedon in the end.

Can't blame FGW (First Great Western) this time. Its only going to get worse though by the looks of the weather for the weekend.
Welcome to the forum yatton_passenger. Sorry to hear that you had a difficult journey home. The weather has caused quite a few problems around our region today particularly between Bristol-Taunton and Bristol-Cardiff as well on the roads.

Things should hopefully begin to return to some normality tomorrow but bear in mind quite a bit of rolling stock in the Bristol area is in the wrong place/short of destination, particularly XC (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) stock that couldn't make it to Devon and Cornwall though some made the long diversion via Bath this afternoon.

Thanks for the welcome!!

apparently the main line between the Weston and Bristol has been washed away in places, so It could take a few days to repair the line i guess.

There were still loads of cars in the car park at Yatton so i guess a lot of people have not made it back yet.
