TRAINS between Castle Cary and Taunton were cancelled this afternoon after a car crashed into a bridge between the stations.

Trains were delayed by up to 60 minutes or diverted via Bristol between Reading and Taunton.

A spokesman for Great Western Railway said disruption is expected to continue until at least 5.30pm today (Thursday, March 29).

"To help you complete your journey, you may use your tickets on CrossCountry services between Bristol Temple Meads and Exeter St Davids, in both directions, until further notice," the spokesman said.
