Description

Engineering work is taking place between Reading and Reading West, closing all lines on Sunday morning.

As a result, the 08:37 Reading to Basingstoke will not run, and will be replaced by earlier road transport at 08:07 from Reading to Reading Green Park, Mortimer, Bramley and Basingstoke.

For Reading West, you should use train services between Reading and Newbury instead.
