Train passengers in Bristol can expect more disruptions to services tomorrow

Rail passengers can expect more disruptions to Bristol Temple Meads train services this weekend as works continue.

Work on a recently upgraded railway junction on the approach to Bristol, will continue to affect train services between Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Parkway or Bath Spa today (Saturday, 25) and tomorrow.

There will also be essential work carried out in the London Paddington area, which will mean closing the station to all trains for half the day until 12pm.

Great Western Railway has advised customers to plan ahead and check journey times and to consider travelling either the day before, or after 1200 on the day of the works.

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.”
