The 7.06 service from Maidenhead to Paddington has vanished from the timetables and departure boards as of this morning. This is/was the 05:47 from Bristol Temple Meads.

I’ve asked GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) for an explanation including whether this is a temporary change or more permanent but I suspect I’ll get a more informed answer here

Hey, Nick.  It's not the one from Bristol, that's the next one at 07:18.  The 07:06 comes from Worcester and isn't running this week because of the engineering blockade at Oxford, but returns next Monday:

Last week:  https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detailed/gb-nr:MAI/2026-01-26/0000-2359?stp=WVS&show=pax-calls&order=wtt&toc=GW» (Great Western - used as an abbreviation for the area / lines under the Great Western franchise, as opposed to FGW which includes "First", the company operating them too. For tickets - about)
This week:  https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detailed/gb-nr:MAI/2026-02-02/0000-2359?stp=WVS&show=pax-calls&order=wtt&toc=GW
Next week:  https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detailed/gb-nr:MAI/2026-02-09/0000-2359?stp=WVS&show=pax-calls&order=wtt&toc=GW

I’ve received a reply from GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) confirming the same.
It only took the full length of the engineering works for GWR to respond

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
