From FOSBR (Joe Patrick) :
As from the 1508 Bristol TM - Severn Beach and the 1522 Severn Beach - Bristol TM TODAY (Sat 3rd Feb) there will be no trains for the rest of the day - trains replaced by buses.
I've just found this on National Rail Enquiries and had no idea this was happenning. There were no posters at stations I use (to my knowledge) & it was very badly publicised. I hope nobody gets caught out, the bus from Severn Beach takes a whopping 1h 5m!

Huh? Does that leave a train stranded out at Severn Beach?

Typical this should happen on the day I take a day trip to Severn Beach with my friend!
Luckily though, we left at 12:22! Very smooth journeys, no problems. Beautiful views of the Avon gorge and Severn estuary. I'll probably take a bike up there next time and go accross the old Severn Bridge!
EDIT: I didn't see any posters, notices, or information about the closure anywhere when I travelled in the morning either. The only thing I did see was when I got back to Temple Meads after a day in Bristol-- a Severn Beach service was on the monitors, but marked as 'Bus' with a note 'Departs from front of the station'.
