Great Western Railway between London Paddington and Bristol Temple Meads

Description

Engineering work is taking place between Didcot Parkway and Swindon, closing all lines.

As a result, the 23:33 London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads will be diverted between Reading and Bath Spa (via Newbury – not calling). It will not call at Didcot Parkway, Swindon or Chippenham.

Road transport will run from Reading to drop off only at Swindon and Chippenham. For Didcot Parkway, you should travel by this train and change at Reading for alternative train services between Reading and Didcot Parkway.
