Disruption between Westbury and Swindon expected until the end of the day 

Route(s) affected

Between Westbury and Swindon / Cheltenham Spa, and also between Salisbury and Gloucester

Description

More trains than usual needing repairs means that fewer trains than normal are able to run between Westbury and Swindon. As a result, trains will be cancelled.

Disruption is expected until 19:00.

Customer advice:

Due to a shortage of trains this evening, Great Western Railway have had to suspend their Westbury to Swindon service, meaning Melksham station will not be served.

Connections are available for all other stations by changing at Bath Spa.

Great Western Railway have requested rail replacement transport for customers requiring Melksham this evening.
