Title: Swindon - Westbury services during Reading blockade Post by: anthony215 on March 15, 2013, 14:07:48 Been having a browse through the timetables put out by FGW & Network rail for services when Reading is closed and it seems FGW have made some changes to the trans-Whiltshire services.
I have noticed that on weekdays the 06:15 Swindon - Wetsbury service doesnt seem to run instead being replaced by a 08:40 Swindon - Westbury service. This unit actually comes from Westbury and arrives into Swindon at 08:33. I think there will be at least 1 member of this forum who will be pleased to see a service into Swindon at around 08:30 however sadly the evening departure from Swindon is still the same at 18:45 Saturday and Sunday services still appear to be the same as they are now however.

Mind you given that it is a holiday it will rain... ;D Title: Re: Swindon - Westbury services during Reading blockade Post by: anthony215 on March 15, 2013, 14:48:36 Yes excellent point bobm.
