Disruption between Taunton and Castle Cary expected until the end of the day

A fire next to the track between Taunton and Castle Cary means fewer trains are able to run. As a result, trains may be cancelled, delayed by up to 40 minutes or diverted.

Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

Great Western Railway are working with Network Rail and the Emergency services to return to running the normal timetable as soon as possible.

Customer advice:

You can use your ticket at no extra cost on CrossCountry and South Western Railway services via any reasonable route.

If your train is cancelled, you may travel on either of the two services before, or two services after, your original train. If these are peak services or less flexible, you can still travel with your original ticket, at no extra cost.
