GWR Wiltshire train cancellations followed a lorry crash on the B3108 near Limpley Stoke, Wiltshire, after the vehicle hit a bridge at about 13:30 BST. The A36 was closed and Great Western Railway trains were delayed between Bath Spa and Westbury.
The disruption spread across the road and rail network from the same incident. Great Western Railway later said services returned to normal at about 17:30 BST, with no residual delays.
Wiltshire Police and GWR
Wiltshire Police said its officers were investigating after the crash. That left the affected stretch of road closed while rail passengers on Bath Spa and Westbury services dealt with cancellations and delays during the afternoon.
The timing matters for passengers because the incident began in the middle of the day and was still affecting journeys for several hours. Great Western Railway said multiple services were cancelled after the lorry hit the bridge, before conditions eased later in the day.
Bath Spa and Westbury
For passengers on Great Western Railway, the practical effect was route disruption rather than a single isolated cancellation. Trains between Bath Spa and Westbury were delayed, and some services did not run at all while the A36 remained shut after the crash.
The return to normal at about 17:30 BST means the disruption was temporary, but the afternoon timetable still took the hit. Which Great Western Railway services were cancelled was not specified in the available details, but the operator said there were no residual delays by early evening.
B3108 near Limpley Stoke
The crash happened on the B3108 near Limpley Stoke in Wiltshire, the location named in the report. That stretch sits close enough to affect both the A36 and Great Western Railway services, making the incident a shared road-and-rail problem rather than a single-line closure.
For readers trying to plan the rest of the day, the key point is that the disruption had cleared by about 17:30 BST. Anyone still checking travel should use that timing as the cutoff for the incident that caused the cancellations and delays.
