Trains through Worcester seem to be having several problems today:

Quote
14:26 Great Malvern to London Paddington due 17:00
This train will be started from Worcester Foregate Street at 14:38. This train will no longer call at Great Malvern and Malvern Link.
This is due to a train fault.

14:50 Great Malvern to Weymouth due 19:14
This train has been delayed at Gloucester and is now 20 minutes late.
This train will be started from Gloucester at 16:05. This train will no longer call at Great Malvern, Malvern Link, Worcester Foregate Street, Worcester Shrub Hill, Ashchurch For Tewkesbury and Cheltenham Spa.
This is due to disruptive passengers.
Message Received :13/06/2012 16:13

15:14 Hereford to London Paddington due 18:28
This train has been delayed at Ledbury and is now 16 minutes late.
This is due to disruptive passengers earlier.

16:48 Great Malvern to Westbury due 19:36
This train will be started from Worcester Shrub Hill at 17:06. This train will no longer call at Great Malvern, Malvern Link and Worcester Foregate Street.
This is due to signalling problems.

Can anyone shed any light on these "disruptive passengers" at Ledbury and Gloucester?

The disruptive passengers at Gloucester and Ledbury are one and the same.

The Conductor for 1450 Malvern - Weymouth was assaulted at Malvern Link whilst working into Malvern.
Subsequent delay/cancellation for both services.

Also the Signalling problems was points failure at Abbotswood Jn.

And the 1426ex Malvern starting at Worcester was due to the Adelante playing up!

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.
