Rail engineering work is taking place between Bedwyn and Pewsey, closing all lines, till Friday.

No trains will run between Bedwyn and Pewsey / Westbury.

Long distance trains between London Paddington and Exeter St Davids / Paignton / Plymouth / Penzance will be diverted, and will either run via:

Bristol Temple Meads (calling to drop off only when running towards London Paddington, and picking up only when running from London Paddington)

Chippenham (some trains will additionally call at Swindon, Westbury and Castle Cary)

No trains will run to / from Pewsey. Replacement buses will run direct between Swindon and Pewsey.

Trains will continue to run between Reading and Bedwyn.

Some trains between Swindon and Westbury will be re-timed, to run up to 23 minutes earlier or later than usual, in order to accommodate the diverted services.

Monday to Friday:

An amended train service will run during morning / evening peak times between London Paddington and Newbury / Bedwyn.

Due to diversions, the vast majority of local trains between Swindon and Westbury will not run and will be replaced by road transport, between Chippenham, Melksham, Trowbridge and Westbury.

At Trowbridge, buses towards Westbury will drop off only and buses from Westbury will pick up only.
