The Town Council have been advised of some GWR timetables changes from Monday 7 September 2026 and these are listed below:
GWR advise that these changes are necessary because their Class 175 trains are not providing the reliability required to operate the full timetable. This means they can provide greater certainty for customers, protect the reliability and capacity of the rest of the timetable, and avoid short-notice cancellations as much as possible.
Specific changes are listed below, and the GWR train planning team are working to get these uploaded into journey planners today (Friday 4th Sept). Stations posters will be displayed, and customers who have booked onto the affected services should receive specific updates. GWR are also looking to provide contingency road replacement services if needed over the coming period.
There is a webpage dedicated to these changes and can be found at https://www.gwr.com/travel-information/travel-updates/temp-timetable-change
