People travelling through Crewkerne train station today should expect delays, after a vehicle was found on the tracks.

The vehicle was discovered blocking the railway early this morning (April 26) but the line has since reopened.

The operator said: "Train services running through this station may be cancelled, delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until the end of the day."

"We were informed of a road vehicle blocking the railway this morning in the Crewkerne area.

"The line has reopened but due to damage caused to the infrastructure trains travelling towards London Waterloo will need to run at a reduced speed.

"We expect this may result in delays of approximately 20 minutes."
