A severely reduced train timetable will operate in Wiltshire on Wednesday (May 8) as Great Western Railway services are hit by more strike action.
The Aslef union has announced more industrial action and GWR has warned strikes will affect many long-distance services.
Only a very limited service will run on the following GWR routes between 7am and 7pm: Reading and Oxford, Reading and Basingstoke, Reading and Redhill (peak time only), Reading and Newbury, Westbury and Swindon (peak time only) and Cardiff and Bristol.
There will not be direct trains between London Paddington and Reading, due to engineering works.
⚠️ Industrial action update ⚠️
