Bristol Temple Meads trains 'impacted' by more 'improvement works' this weekend

Train services will be "impacted" at Bristol Temple Meads station this weekend, Great Western Railway has announced.

"Rail improvement works" mean services passing through Temple Meads will be affected all weekend, while separate works mean London Paddington will be closed to trains on Sunday morning.

Bristol-specific disruptions will occur across Saturday and Sunday as Network Rail carries out "final work on a recently upgraded railway junction on the approach to Bristol Temple Meads".

GWR managing director Mark Hopwood said: “We work very closely with Network Rail to make sure essential track and signalling improvements can take place when fewer people are travelling and with minimum disruption to customers.

“We will continue to keep people moving during these works, but journeys may take longer and trains could be busier than usual. I’m grateful for customers’ patience while the work is completed, and would encourage those who do need to travel to check beforehand.”

No services will run to or from Paddington on Sunday morning, so long-distance GWR services from around the country will terminate at Reading, where customers for London are advised to get the South Western Railway service to London Waterloo.
