Train services between Swindon and Cheltenham Spa are being disrupted as emergency services deal with an incident in the Kemble area.
It is thought a man may have jumped from a bridge and landed on the railway line below.

The line is currently closed with services being diverted via Bristol.

Road transport is being provided for customers between Swindon and Gloucester, said a spokesman for First Great Western.

Yes well, if you had everything your own way it wouldn't be life would it?

And if a suicide attempt was the reason, the hold-up probably wouldn't have happened.
