Rail commuters and mourners for the Queen's funeral are continuing to face major disruption along a key Bristol route after issues continue into a second day. Significant damage to the overhead electric lines between London Paddington and West Drayton means there is no access to the capital by rail for Bristol commuters.
The disruption began at around 6.45am on Monday (September 19) affecting Great Western Railway routes, the London Underground Elizabeth Line and the Heathrow Express. GWR routes have been affected stretching as far as Penzance and passengers have been advised to avoid travel until the issue is resolved.
People travelling home from the Queen's state funeral and procession have faced severe disruption on the railway. Those heading to Windsor for the funeral proceedings there were also affected by the cancellations.
