‘SIGNIFICANTLY reduced’ rail services will continue into today, Monday after the weekend’s Storms Eunice and Franklin.

Great Western Railway has strongly recommended people check their rail services today

A spokesperson said: ‘We’re sorry for the continued disruption to our services.  Our teams are working hard to get trains running safely again as soon as possible.

‘The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for much of the GWR network on Sunday and Monday as Storm Franklin moves in.  Strong winds are forecast, posing a risk to lineside trees and structures already weakened by Storm Eunice.

‘As a result, a 50mph speed restriction will be in place across the GWR network for the whole of Sunday and until 4pm on Monday.

‘We will be running a significantly reduced service, and late notice delays and cancellations are likely.

‘Online journey planners will be updated overnight tonight, and we strongly recommend you check all journeys prior to travelling in case there have been any late changes.’
