No trains through Gloucester all day
It's down to over running engineering works
Over running engineering works to replace signalling around Gloucester mean that no trains will run through the station today (Monday 6th October).
Replacement buses are being laid on to get passengers to their destinations, but travellers are warned journey times will be much longer than usual and spaces for the buses means car parks may be reduced/closed at some stations.
CrossCountry customer advice:
No CrossCountry services will operate through Gloucester today.
Customers with tickets dated Monday 6 October wishing to travel to Cheltenham Spa or travelling through Cheltenham Spa to get to Bristol / Cardiff Central and other locations, may use their ticket to travel free of charge either on Tuesday 7 October or Wednesday 8 October.
You can find more information on your train's amendment on CrossCountry's Service Updates page.
