Engineering work is taking place between Theale and Newbury, closing all lines.

Long distance trains:

Long distance trains that run via Newbury will be retimed, and will be diverted to run on alternative routes. Some trains will make additional station stops.

Local services:

Buses will replace trains between Reading and Newbury. At Reading West, buses from Reading will stop to pick up only and buses towards Reading will stop to drop off only.

A shuttle train service will run between Newbury and Bedwyn, timed to connect with replacement buses.

Trains between Swindon and Westbury will be retimed.
