Engineering work is taking place between Swindon and Gloucester, closing all lines overnight from Monday evening until Friday morning.

The 23:42 Swindon to Cheltenham Spa will be amended to start earlier than usual, at 23:21, and will divert between Swindon and Gloucester, not calling Kemble, Stroud and Stonehouse.

A replacement bus will run at 23:42 from Swindon to Kemble, Stroud and Stonehouse Town Hall. This bus continues to Gloucester (set down only) and Cheltenham Spa.

Customers from Swindon to Gloucester / Cheltenham Spa should use the train. For travel between Gloucester and Cheltenham, you should use earlier train services instead.
