From GWR Journey Check

With effect from Tuesday 11th May 2021 - CUSTOMERS FOR ALL THE AFFECTED ROUTES ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO CHECK THEIR INTENDED JOURNEY PRIOR TO TRAVEL.
.
The main routes affected are individually detailed together with any advice in regard of additional / alternative arrangements for ticket holders.
.
We have had to adapt many of our High Speed service timetables into a series of separate shuttle services. This has been done to ensure that we are able to advertise and operate a limited but robust service using the resources that we have available to us. As a result, certain journeys which were previously through services will now require one or more changes of train to cover the same journey. For example, a Bedwyn to London Paddington journey will now require a change of train at both Newbury and Reading.


Many of the services on the London Paddington - Reading - Newbury - Bedwyn route are scheduled to operate through to / from London Paddington via Reading using Hitachi Class 800 carriages. As a result of the unavailability of these trains the through services between London Paddington and Bedwyn will be withdrawn. A shuttle train service will operate between Newbury and Bedwyn with the scheduled Reading - Newbury all stations services providing a connection between Reading and Newbury; a further change of train will be required at Reading if travelling to / from London Paddington.
.
Note that the additional peak hour through services to / from London Paddington serving certain stations on this route, together with the services between Newbury and the West Country have all been withdrawn.

From JourneyCheck for Friday 14th May

Train services between Bedwyn and London Paddington, will require a change of train at both Newbury and Reading.
