Train derailed at Cannons Marsh, Brisyol
A CrossCountry train has derailed in the yard blocking 4 other trains from leaving.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-26716181 CrossCountry said a set of wheels had come off a train as it was being shunted, trapping four other trains in the depot at Barton Hill. P.S. Sorry, Heading should read Train derailed at Barton Hill, Bristol

Here's a link to a video of the rerailing operation

A great film of a very slick re-railing operation. A great deal easier than in steam days with the steam crane and lots of timber baulks and wedges. (and lots of sweat and swearing)
