Trains down in Bristol as heavy rain "blocks lines"

Trains heading east from Bristol are down after heavy rain has "blocked the lines", Great Western Railway (GWR) have confirmed today (January 12).

So far, trains heading between Bristol Temple Meads to Swindon are experiencing substantial changes to their route; passengers at Bath Spa who are attempting to get to Bristol Temple Meads are having to go via Reading and Westbury, which according to GWR is the only route now available.

GWR has stated: "Due to heavy rain flooding the railway between Swindon and Bristol Temple Meads, all lines are blocked. Train services running through these stations will be cancelled, delayed or diverted. Disruption is expected until 11:00."
