Great Western Railway between London Paddington and Penzance

Description

Engineering work is taking place between Didcot Parkway and Bath Spa, closing some lines.

As a result, the 23:45 London Paddington to Penzance “Night Riviera” Sleeper service will divert between Reading and Exeter St Davids (via Honiton – not calling). It will not call at Taunton. For Taunton, you should travel by earlier train services. The train will arrive at Exeter St David’s approximately 20 minutes earlier than normal, and will run to normal timings departing Exeter St Davids and beyond.
