GWR News - Storm Darragh: Change plans if possible

Great Western Railway advises customers to check travel plans as Storm Darragh brings strong winds this weekend. Red and amber warnings are in place, with potential for service delays and disruptions.

Great Western Railway (GWR) is urging customers to review their travel plans ahead of Storm Darragh, which is expected to bring strong winds to parts of its network this weekend. 

Red and amber weather warnings are in effect, and while it expects to run train services, the storm may cause disruption and delays.

Strong winds mean speed restrictions will be in place across the network, increasing journey times. Fallen trees and other debris may also impact services.

Customers with tickets for travel on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 December can be used on Monday 9 December.

If you no longer wish to travel this weekend you can claim a full refund at GWR.com/help-and-support/refunds

GWR is recommending customers speak with organisers to check whether events are still going ahead. Bath Christmas Market has been cancelled on Saturday.

On Sunday, crew availability means a significantly reduced, amended timetable will be in place on long-distance services. Online journey planners are currently not correct and will be updated overnight on Saturday.

Please check your journey on Sunday morning for the latest information.
