Yes some trains were diverted to Chippenham & went up & down the Melksham Branch line.
I was on the 19.01 which was late and then it had to wait for a Bristol to Westbury divereted train.

Never a dull moment on the Melksham Branch line. Shocked

The NRN^▸ emegancy broadcast was a load of rubbish though. "Will the driver of 1F13.....there is a fire Bristol side of Freshford Station (total crap) and could you pleasse stop and see if you can tackle it with your on train fire extinguisher"! To which the driver of the train I was on (not that 1 - I didn't get to see the fire) shouted "Eff off"
