From Monday (11 January) in addition to the changes already in operation there will be reduced frequency of off peak services between Bristol Temple Meads and London Paddington.

The changes will help protect services vital for key workers and essential travel and will mean GWR continue to operate approximately 80% of their planned timetable.

GWR will be directly contacting customers who have booked online to offer advice and help switch to other services, or to claim refunds. Customers are also reminded to check timetables on https://www.gwr.com/travel-updates/check-your-journey before they set out.

GWR will be keeping the timetable under review, particularly given the new national lockdown in England and will work with the Department for Transport on any further changes.

They are determined to maintain a reliable, effective service for key workers and essential travel and their operations team are working very hard to make sure everything is in place to do so.
