Route 1 faces two diversions in one week as rail fault closes Cotswold line

Cotswold Journal reported that all lines between Cheltenham Spa and Worcester Shrub Hill were closed, with trains cancelled due to a fault [1][2]. First Bus said service 1 will be diverted on Wednesday 23 September while Passage Road, Brentry is closed southbound from 10:00 to 14:00, with Brentry Lane and The Ridgeway stops not served [4]. First Bus said service 1 will be diverted again on Friday 25 September while Allison Road, Broomhill is closed from 09:30 to 15:30; service 36 will also be affected, and stops including Sherwell Road, Wick Crescent, Church Parade and Jean Road will not be served [3]. Read together, the two bus notices mean route 1 passengers face separate local diversions in the same week, while a separate rail closure affects services between Cheltenham Spa and Worcester Shrub Hill [3][4][1][2].
