Engineering work is taking place between Swindon and Cheltenham Spa, closing all lines overnight from Monday evening until Friday morning.

As a result, the 23:42 Swindon to Cheltenham Spa will divert between Swindon and Gloucester (via Bristol Parkway – calling additionally). It will not call at Kemble, Stroud or Stonehouse, and will terminate at Gloucester. A replacement bus will run at 23:45 from Swindon to Kemble, Stroud, Stonehouse (Town Hall), Gloucester and Cheltenham Spa.
