Default High-speed rail services cancelled after cracks found

[Great Western Railway services have been
cancelled after hairline cracks were found
in a number of its high-speed trains.

The cracks were found in the
suspension of its Hitachi 800 trains,
a spokesman said.
He added that all such trains were now
having to be checked.

All high-speed GWR services between
London, Bristol, Cardiff and Penzance have
been cancelled and customers are advised
not to attempt to travel today.

The GWR spokesperson said London
North Eastern Railways,
which operates the East Coast Mainline,
was facing similar problems,
the BBC's correspondent Jon Donnison said.]
