First Great Western services from Worcester Shrub Hill are delayed
COMMUTERS are facing delays this morning after a train derailed overnight.
The empty locomotive was being parked overnight at Shrub Hill when its front end derailed.
The derailment reportedly caused some damage to railway sleepers and has caused delays of around 15 minutes to First Great Western services from Worcester Shrub Hill to Swindon and Oxford.
Services are continuing, passing the derailed train, but at a reduced speed.
