From the FGW website :

19:32 Westbury to Cheltenham Spa due 21:26
This train will be terminated at Chippenham.It will no longer call at: Swindon, Kemble, Stroud, Stonehouse, Gloucester and Cheltenham Spa.This is due to a line-side fire.

Here's what I saw at Westbury:



According to Doris, it was cancelled "Due to the fire"! There were quite a small crowd of people on platform 3 surrounding the dispatch staff. By the time I left at 19:38- my train being the only one on time it seemed- the train was still reported as cancelled, and the other delays kept growing...
