Nice to see that the BBC website can spell correctly. When this was on the TV news, they managed to spell it as a 'landslipe'...a cross between landslip and landslide I guess!

First Great Western has said on the BBC local news tonight at 19:45 that the line will be open for services tomorrow morning, although there will be delays due to signaling equipment having been damaged. We will see!!!
