From GWR (Great Western Railway) Journey check from 11th May 2021

The London Paddington - Reading - Swindon - Gloucester - Cheltenham Spa and return services will be revised to operate as a shuttle service between Swindon and Gloucester only using alternative carriages. Connecting train services operated by CrossCountry and Transport for Wales will be available for GWR ticket holders to travel between Gloucester and Cheltenham Spa.

MOST JOURNEY TIMES WILL BE CONSIDERABLY EXTENDED, CONNECTIONS CANNOT BE GUARANTEED AND IT MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE TO COMPLETE LATE NIGHT JOURNEYS AT ALL AS A RESULT.
