Flooding between Castle Cary and Westbury means some lines are blocked. Trains running between these stations may be cancelled, delayed or revised.

Disruption is expected until 21:00. 

Additional information:

​​​​​​​When flood water rises above the rails, we cannot run our services to prevent damage to the train and track. Flooding can also cause a short circuit and cut the power to signalling and important track side equipment.

Customer advice
