Engineering work is taking place between Swindon and Chippenham and also between Chippenham and Bristol Temple Meads from 21:55 until 05:35 each morning, closing some lines.

As a result the following amendments will apply:

From London Paddington:

• The 21:02 London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads service will arrive / depart Chippenham and beyond later than normal.
• The 22:02 London Paddington to Plymouth service will incur additional journey time between Swindon and Chippenham.
• The 22:32 and 23:32 London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads services will divert between Swindon and Bristol Temple Meads, not calling at Chippenham and Bath Spa. A rail replacement bus service will be in operation between Swindon and Chippenham / Bath Sp. These buses will continue to Bristol Temple Meads.

To London Paddington:

• The 17:50 Penzance to London Paddington service will divert between Bristol Temple Meads and Swindon, not calling at Bath Spa and Chippenham. A rail replacement bus service will be in operation between Bath Spa / Chippenham / Swindon and Didcot Parkway for a later rail connection to London Paddington.
