What has happened?
The signalling system in the Bristol Temple Meads area had failed. This has meant weve been unable to run trains to, from or through Bristol Temple Meads. Most of the signalling system is now working and trains can now start to run through the area. There may be still be some delays and cancellations as no trains had been able to leave our depot in Bristol.
What are we doing about it?
Network Rail specialist staff have been able to reset and restore most of the signalling system. We are now working get our trains and crew in place to start running our normal timetabled service, but there may still be some delays and alterations while we do this.

Switched it off/switched it on again? 
Risky - it may not start up at all. Isn't that why some diesel engines are / have been left running for hours?
