There is currently an error in the timetable for trains due to call at Didcot Parkway on services between Reading and Swindon in both directions this Saturday afternoon.

Trains will call hourly throughout the afternoon. The current two to three hour gap is incorrect and I'm told it will be corrected in journey planners and so on overnight tonight.

It is correct there are only hourly trains due to the extra services going to and from Cardiff.

There are also errors where it's offering SWT (South West Trains) only fares for GWR (Great Western Railway) services. I tweeted screen shots and they said they'd fix them!

Bobm, As it happens I'm going to Didcot on Saturday afternoon (might be the same reason as you).  Are the trains you mention as hourly the IC (Inter City) services?  I'm assuming my local train connections from/to Reading are still running half hourly?

As it happens I'm not going anymore as I now have to work but yes I was going to the Swindon Panel AGM (Annual General Meeting).

I'm told the only error affected the HST (High Speed Train) services.

Just confirm this error has been fixed and journey planners are now showing the correct service pattern.
