The Bristol Railway Archive

This is the original forum of the Bristol Railway Archive that existed between 2003 and 2013. I finally rescued it after it seemed unrecoverable after a large crash. I have made it available for viewing. It is locked, all posts to the new version please!

I heard earlier today that there are major problems in severn tunnel. There was mention of a partial collapse, quite how big or small I am not sure.
has anyone heard anything yet.

I would expect anything as serious as that to have hit the BBC news by now! :)

On national rail enquiries site, emergency engineering works between severn tunnel junction and patchway with 60 min delay (diversion). Trains not running between btm and cardif central. doesnt specify exactly what reason for work is. I agree with your comment that if was major problem it would undoubtedly have made news.
