There updates have been pretty reliable in the past.

Agrees with the data currently visible in Realtimetrains & the suchlike for the December timetable but of course this isn't always the final story until much closer to the date.

One stopping train an hour offpeak, additional Didcot stops on the North Cotts services but removed from some fast Oxfords.

Another swap - Didcot gets back a stop on the Cardiffs but only one an hour for Bristol Temple Meads.

EDIT: the data seems a bit inconsistent from one day to another, and in one direction compared with the other suggesting things aren't settled.

Yes, it looks like a right inconsistent mess at the moment.

Along with the removal of half the OXF^» (Oxford - next trains)<>DID^▸ (Didcot Parkway) shuttles, we have:

*  London bound North Cotswold Line trains stopping at Didcot, but not the other way. 
*  Cardiff bound off-peak services stopping at Didcot, but not the other way.
*  Two trains an hour from Bristol to Didcot, but only one the other way.
