Taunton

During severe flooding blocking the line at Cowley Bridge Junction north of Exeter a CrossCountry HST from York lays over on the right in Taunton's platform 2. Routing from Cheltenham had been via Chepstow with reversal at Severn Tunnel Junction due to a landslip near Westerleigh. The class 150 DMUs are operating shuttle services from Taunton to Bristol and Cardiff.
