Storm Eunice – branch line closures, speed restrictions and reduced service levels Friday 18th
A very quick email from GWR & Network Rail confirming that due to the red storm warning there will be significant changes to rail services from 0400 tomorrow morning (Friday).
This is expected to last throughout the day, and will mean branch line closures in Cornwall, Devon and Bristol. There will be 50mph speed restrictions, and services will be reduced by 50%.
Customers are being asked to check their journey before setting out. This can be done through Journey Check on journeycheck.com/GreatWesternRailway or Shiplake's Home page
We are also accepting tomorrow’s rail tickets for travel over the weekend or on Monday, and we will issue full refunds to anyone choosing not to travel.
We will need to review and check for any damage before re-opening and there could therefore be further delays and changes to services on Friday evening and Saturday.
Anything you can do to help spread the message would be very much appreciated.
