Rail services across the GWR network are severely affected by the impacts of Storm Bert. Thomas Lydon, Public Affairs Manager at GWR, said “We’re very sorry for the inconvenience and disruption to journeys.”
As of Monday morning, multiple lines are still closed due to flooding, fallen trees and other blockages, so the railway’s advice to customers is do not travel, with disruption expected to last until at least the end of 25 Nov.
Network Rail and GWR teams are working hard across the network to inspect lines as the morning light improves, and will look to reopen lines as quickly as possible. Customers with tickets for yesterday (Sun 24) and today (Mon 25) will be able to use them on Tues 26 and Weds 27 at no extra charge, including on peak-time services, or claim a full refund.
