Its been going on for weeks - rail replacement all the way both saturday and sunday and not just one of the two

i need to be in Bristol Temple Meads for 1030 on Saturday - I now face a choice, drive to Hereford or drive to worcester (although I havent checked whether or not there are issues there yet!)

No idea what the cause is, but having been caught up in it myself last Saturday I have to say the bus replacement services running in and out of Hereford are very efficient.

I will make a guess in that the work is around Craven Arms as the marches line and HoWL are affected and Craven Arms to Shrewsbury is the only part of the line tht both maches and HoWL services use.
