All lines through Gloucester station were blocked by trespassers, causing cancellations and delays of up to 30 minutes.

Train services through Gloucester station were blocked following a trespass incident on the railway. All lines through the station were affected, causing cancellations and delays to services including the 1.43pm train from Kemble, which was due at Stroud at 1.59pm and at Stonehouse shortly after.

A National Rail spokesperson confirmed that all lines had reopened following the earlier trespass incident. However, trains running to, from and through Gloucester station were expected to continue running late, with delays of up to 30 minutes possible.

GWR advised customers affected by the disruption that if their train was cancelled, they could travel on either of the two services before or after their original train at no extra cost. The operator also said it would continue to monitor the situation and consider providing replacement transport such as buses, coaches or taxis if needed as the service returned to normal.
