Amended 23:33 London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads service on Sunday 6 December

Planned Updated: 14 Sep 2026 10:44

Engineering work is taking place between Didcot Parkway and Swindon, closing all lines late on Sunday evening.

As a result, the 23:33 London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads service will be diverted after Reading (via Newbury, not calling), and will not call at Didcot Parkway, Swindon or Chippenham.

For Didcot Parkway, you should change at Reading for alternative Great Western Railway services between Reading and Didcot Parkway, which you can use at no extra cost.

For Swindon and Chippenham, a replacement bus will run from Reading to Swindon and Chippenham, dropping off only at these stations.
