Disruption on our network
Your train may be delayed. Check your journey.
Last updated: 20:44
Due to a road vehicle colliding with level crossing barriers between Reading and Newbury trains have to run at reduced speed on all lines.
Impact:
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled or delayed. Disruption is expected until 22:00 11/06.
Customer Advice:
-
What has happened?
-
Weve been informed that a vehicle has struck barriers on a level crossing between Thatcham and Midgham. The barriers will have to be examined to make sure they are working correctly and any debris cleared. Trains are still able to run through the area but at a reduced speed.
-
What are we doing about it?
-
We are working with Network Rail gather more information about this to understand how this will affect our services and how we can return to running our normal timetable as soon as possible.
-
What are your options?
-
We are sorry for the disruption to your journey today.
-
As trains are still running you should travel as normal and catch your intended train.
-
If your train is cancelled, you may travel on either of the two services before, or two services after, your original train. If these are peak services or less flexible, you can still travel with your original ticket, at no extra cost.
-
If you miss a connection as a result of being delayed, you can use your ticket, at no extra cost, on the next available train.
