Although the circumstances surrounding these incidents are upsetting, it is often useful for others to warn them of disruption and make alternative plans.   Sadly they are all too common so a post like this with no location makes them less useful.

I assume you are referring to the incident just west of Swindon this morning - in which case South Wales services used the Golden Valley line while some Bristol services and the one train to Exeter were sent via the Berks & Hants.

As the incident is now over and it has also been mentioned in the TransWilts thread I am locking this one but leaving it as a reminder.

Diversion via North somerset junction I presume.
Thoughts with all those who may be effected.
