"From 21:45 tonight and 06:15 an Emergency Possession will take place between BTM & WSM due to embankment work at Flax Bourton."

"Buses will replace trains between BTM and Taunton from 21:45. 1V74 last down Virgin to PLY will divert via Bath & Westbury."

Nothing on the National Rail Enquiries website yet.

This is where they cut down all the trees and put in those concrete retaining walls...all the soil is probably either washed away or waterlogged and unable to drain

on the fgw site it says one of their down services i think paddington to exeter, will not call at nailsea, yatton, weston s mare etc due to emergency track repairs.

so i would of thought its diverted too.

It was about 25 metres of embankment on the up line at 120m10ch.
All in order now.
