Following an obstruction on the track between Swindon and Bristol Parkway the line towards Bristol Parkway will be reopened shortly. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
Impact
Train services between Swindon and Bristol Parkway may be delayed by up to 25 minutes or diverted.
Customer Advice
An e-scooter has been left on the railway track, and has become wedged under a train. As a result, the line between Swindon and Bristol Parkway is blocked, and trains are diverting, taking a longer route. Diversion expected to take up to 25 minutes. All stations continue to be served. This does not affect trains in the other direction.
