Have they got those dates correct?

Paddington is open on the 28th - albeit with a reduced service as only one line in each direction will be open on the approach to the station.

Yes that was my understanding, and my Business has a lot of work has a lot of scheduled for the 28th based on Paddington being open and people being able to get to work, has this now changed?

Reduced service surely won’t cope with passenger volumes and the extra SWR» (South Western Railway - about) is to relieve Paddington?

You're right - SWR» (South Western Railway - about)'s plan for extra Reading trains is only for the 27th. I mixed it up with the next two days which have the same pattern of closures, not involving Paddington.
