We are expecting disruption on some routes this Sunday (13 July) because of crew availability.
No services will operate on the following routes this Sunday and customers should not attempt to travel between Westbury and Weymouth (No bus replacement able to operate), and between Swindon and Westbury (A very limited bus replacement will operate).
A reduced, amended timetable will also be in place for trains between Westbury and Bristol Temple Meads. On this route, customers should change their plans if possible and only travel if necessary. Fewer trains will run, and those that do will be extremely busy. Some further services may also be cancelled or delayed at short notice.
Because of the late-notice changes, and the complexity of updating timetable systems, journey planners will not show changes correctly before Sunday morning.
Customers who had already bought tickets between Westbury and Weymouth for this Sunday 13 July will be able to use them on Saturday 12, or Monday 14 July, or if they do not travel they can claim a full refund at www.GWR.com/refunds.
Further information will be available on our webpage at www.gwr.com and customers can check before they travel at www.gwr.com/check.
Any help you can give to make your networks aware would be much appreciated.
Best wishes
Tom
