Description

A safety inspection of the track between Swindon and Reading means that fewer trains are able to run on some lines.

As a result, the services that run between Swindon and London Paddington may be cancelled or revised to run between Didcot Parkway and London Paddington only.

All other services running between Swindon and Reading may be delayed by up to 20 minutes.

Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

Customer advice:

If your train is cancelled, you may travel on either of the two services before, or two services after, your original train. If these are peak services or less flexible, you can still travel with your original ticket, at no extra cost.
