A customer service assistant for National Rail said: ‘Due to the flooding between Swindon and Bristol many trains are being re-routed, delayed, or cancelled. Though we are hoping to have the track cleared by 4pm, we don’t hold high hopes for such a possibility.

The situation is hoping to be cleared by 4pm, though National Rail aren’t hopeful that this will be possible due to the weather. Disrupted rail travel is possible.’

Other train lines have also been delayed across Hampshire due to the weather and because of planned strikes that the train lines have already brought awareness to.
