Engineering work is taking place between Reading and Chippenham, closing all lines via Swindon.

The 23:00 and 23:33 London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads services will be diverted between Reading and Bath Spa (via Newbury – not calling). They will not call at Didcot Parkway, Swindon or Chippenham.

Replacement buses will run from Reading to drop off only at Swindon and Chippenham. For Didcot Parkway, you should travel on the diverted 23:33 London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads service and change at Reading for alternative train services.
