We expect significant disruption to services this Sunday because of crew availability.
A significantly reduced, amended timetable will be in place for long-distance trains between:
- London Paddington and Bristol Temple Meads
- London Paddington and South Wales
- London Paddington and Devon and Cornwall
Local services in the Exeter and Bristol areas are also expected to be affected.
Customers should change their plans if possible and only travel if absolutely necessary.
Fewer trains will run on these routes, and those that do will be extremely busy. Some further services may also be cancelled or delayed at short notice.
Please do not travel by train to/from Bath Spa for the Christmas Market on Sunday.
Market organisers have published alternative travel options including:
- Bath Park & Ride – services every five minutes from 0930-1800 on Sundays. More information at travelwest.info/parkandride
- Local bus services – First West of England operates a number of routes from the outskirts of the city
Because of the late-notice changes, and the complexity of updating timetable systems, journey planners will not show changes correctly before Sunday morning.
If you have already bought tickets for this Sunday, these will be valid on Monday 16 December or you can claim a full refund at GWR.com/refunds.
