CLEARED: Disruption to early morning trains between London Paddington and Reading  

Route(s) affected

Routes to / from London Paddington

Description

Trains are now running normally following emergency engineering works in the Twyford area.

Mutual ticket acceptance between GWR and Elizabeth line will be in place until 11:00.

GWR Customer Advice:

Further works along the mainline between Didcot Parkway and Swindon means GWR trains will need to use alternative routes to serve Bristol and South Wales all day.

After 09:00 a significantly reduced, amended timetable will be in place for services between London and Bristol Temple Meads, and South Wales - operating on a diversionary route from Reading to Bath Spa, before continuing to Bristol Temple Meads; Bristol Parkway; Newport and Cardiff. You can read more about this engineering work via this link.

Trains on this route are expected to be very busy, and journeys will take much longer. Services may also be cancelled or delayed at short notice.

To help customers, those who have already bought tickets on the route affected for Sunday 30 March will be able to use them on Monday 31 March, or you can claim a full refund at GWR.com/Refunds, according to the usual terms and conditions of the ticket type.
