Please see below information from GWR on upcoming timetable changes and improvements going ahead on local services:
“Timetable changes
On Sunday 15 December, we’ll be introducing the biggest timetable change on our network since 1976, bringing faster, more frequent services with more seats across the region.
Around three quarters of journey times will be changing as we add new services and change old ones as part of the improvements. You can get more information and sign up for alerts on gwr.com/Timetable2019.
