A LANDSLIP between Swindon and Bristol Parkway has blocked railway lines in the Bristol direction.

Train services running through these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 30 minutes or diverted at short notice.

However, some Eastbound services are running.

A First Great Western spokesman said all London Paddington to South Wales services will no longer call at Bristol Parkway and will call instead at Bristol Patchway.

There is a bus shuttle service in operation to convey passengers between Parkway and Patchway.

The eastbound line is open and services are being operated subject to speed restrictions through the affected area, while westbound services are being diverted via Bristol Parkway.

It is expected that the disruption will continue until mid-afternoon.
