Due to the drop in travellers, due to the lockdown, GWR are changing their timetables from Monday, 25 January.
The key changes locally are:
– the Bristol Temple Meads to Paddington services will be hourly on Saturdays, and
– weekday and Saturday local services between Weston-super-Mare and Bristol Parkway will be cancelled.
However, station stops in these areas will be added to their Cardiff to Taunton local services instead.
There will also be some later start up and early finish times across the network.
The changes are temporary, and can be quickly reversed.
GWR will also be making sure the key school and college services will all be in operation before pupils and students return.
GWR advice to customers is to check timetables before travel, using their online journey checker on https://www.gwr.com/travel-updates/check-your-journey
or by calling train enquiries.
