This coming week (beginning on Monday, April 23) is another week without trains from Pewsey and Bedwyn to Paddington.
This is due to continuing electrification works on the line.
In response to the Bedwyn Trains Passenger Group (BTPG), GWR are putting on an extra bus service – in addition to the advertised services.
This new service will leave Bedwyn at 0625 – call at Hungerford at 0640 – and arrive at Reading at 0735 for connections to Paddington.
This, says Steve Smith of the BTPG, will “shave an hour off the journey time to Paddington.”
