Title: No trains between Theale and Westbury from Sat 18 Feb to Thu 2 Mar Post by: hoover50 on February 14, 2023, 14:01:57 The line between Westbury and Theale will be completely closed between Sat 18 Feb - Thu 2 Mar which means no trains will be calling at intermediate stations: Pewsey, Bedwyn, Hungerford, Kintbury, Newbury, Newbury Racecourse, Thatcham, Midgham and Aldermaston. A rail replacement bus service will be in operation.
More details on the GWR website: https://www.gwr.com/travel-information/travel-updates/planned-engineering/newbury (https://www.gwr.com/travel-information/travel-updates/planned-engineering/newbury) Apparently, this work is essential to protect the ongoing safety of the route and involves relaying life-expired track, replacing lineside equipment and renewing structures. I do realise this sort of work is essential, but I think it is rather excessive to close such a long section of line for such a long time. >:( Title: Re: No trains between Theale and Westbury from Sat 18 Feb to Thu 2 Mar Post by: nickswift99 on February 14, 2023, 14:59:46 More importantly, it means that any issues between Swindon and Reading during this period will likely cause a complete meltdown.
