Great Western Railway between Swindon and Cheltenham Spa

Description

Engineering work is taking place between Stonehouse and Gloucester, closing all lines.

As a result, the 23:42 Swindon to Cheltenham Spa service will be amended to run earlier at 23:22, and will run via Bath Spa / Severn Tunnel Junction (not calling at either). It will not call at Kemble, Stroud or Stonehouse (Town Hall), and it will terminate at Gloucester.

A replacement bus will run at 23:45 from Swindon to Kemble, Stroud, Stonehouse (Town Hall), Gloucester and Cheltenham Spa. For Gloucester, you should use the train where possible.
