Pretty sure it would be upto Gloucester and then back down the other side, not need for Swindom surely?
I get the journey time would be longer, but it wouldn't be much longer than the replacement bus option and would be a hell of a lot less of a pain in the backside for passengers.
I suspect the paths issue is probably one of the main things, I doubt there is room on either side of the Severn to send along another say 1 train per hour throughout the day, or if there is room it would need pretty careful planning which they can avoid by just using buses instead.
I did actually have a look at RTT before making my post. My question was more about operation in general (rather than just a couple of exceptions).
Have you read Post #29 re route
