Travelling by train this Sunday? Important information
We expect disruption on some routes this Sunday because of crew availability.
No services will operate on the following routes on Sunday 13 July and customers should not attempt to travel between:
- Westbury and Weymouth (No bus replacement able to operate)
- 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.
With high temperatures expected, we’re reminding all customers to plan ahead and travel prepared:
- Stay hydrated – bring a refillable water bottle
- Check before you travel – services may be busier or subject to change
- Allow extra time – especially during the hottest parts of the day
Your comfort and safety are our priority. Please check live updates before setting off and take care in the heat.
