Saw this today in a GWR network status message:
I'm impressed they're giving some technical detail like this, and it certainly makes me more sympathetic to what's going on.
Is this new that they go into this level of detail? If so, long may it remain.
I've got an off peak day return from Bristol (BRI) to Evesham (EVE). The ticket office charged £24.10 for this, with restriction W5 (only via Worcester).

I'm at Reading on the delayed 1O84, apparently lines to Guildford blocked as an earlier train has hit a tree and got damaged. Does anyone have any info beyond that? I hope it's not serious enough that anyone got hurt?

Hello,
On 29 June 2018 I bought a super off-peak return (£53) BRI-SFR intending to travel as follows:
1700 BRI - RDG 1815 (train 1A26)
