Engineering work is taking place between Charlbury and Honeybourne overnight from Monday evening until Friday morning, closing all lines.
As a result:
- The 21:50 London Paddington to Worcester Shrub Hill service will additionally call at Didcot Parkway for customers to disembark only. This train will then be diverted to run on an alternative route, arriving at Worcester Shrub Hill at the usual time. This train will not call at stations via Oxford. A rail connection from Didcot Parkway to Oxford will allow customers to access a replacement bus from Oxford to Worcester Shrub Hill.
- The 22:00 Hereford to London Paddington service will run between Hereford and Worcester Shrub Hill, and between Oxford and London Paddington. A fast replacement bus will run between Worcester Shrub Hill and Oxford, connecting with the train to London. A second replacement bus will run between Worcester Shrub Hill and Oxford, calling at all stations (no connections towards London will be available for this bus).
- The 22:50 London Paddington to Worcestershire Parkway service will terminate at Oxford. A replacement bus will run from Oxford to Worcestershire Parkway.
