Description

Engineering work is taking place between Stonehouse and Gloucester, closing all lines on Monday to Thursday evenings.

As a result, the 23:42 Swindon to Cheltenham Spa service will depart earlier than usual at 23:17 and will divert between Swindon and Gloucester (running via Bath Spa / Severn Tunnel Junction, not calling at either). It will not call at Kemble, Stroud or Stonehouse, and will terminate at Gloucester at 01:03.

A replacement bus will run from Swindon to Kemble, Stroud, Stonehouse (Town Hall), Gloucester and Cheltenham Spa.
