Cotswold Line service still suspended but while outside shovelling snow 10 minutes ago heard what I'm pretty sure was a Class 37 working south out of Moreton-in-Marsh but I live a few hundred yards from the line, so don't know if it was relying on its mini-ploughs or propelling an independent plough.

Looks like the Class 37 got through to Oxford without problems. Services will resume with a 16.51 from Oxford to Worcester, running in the path of the 15.42 from London. Tickets dated for today will be accepted on the Cotswold Line tomorrow.

Services between Oxford and Worcester have been reinstated, with departures from Oxford to Worcester at 16:51, 18:52, 20:52 and 22:51. Departures from Worcester to Oxford at 18:26 and 20:28

FGW (First Great Western) still running Worcester-Gloucester.

More snow forecast for tomorrow, across West Country first thing, then spreading across the rest of FGW land during the day.

Looks like it will hit Bristol by lunchtime, could be an interesting afternoon with Met Office warning of ~10cm with more on high grounds etc

A quick local update for you: the outdoor temperature is now minus 3oC in Nailsea ... and still dropping ...  Roll Eyes

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) 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.

I've just moved and merged the three previous posts into this topic, as they offer a wider view of the current weather conditions, and their implications.

By the way: it's approaching minus 5oC here in Nailsea, now.  Shocked
