GWR short notice track repairs

[StratfordP]

Any ideas on whether trains from Bath Spa will be impacted by these engineering works tomorrow? GWR being cryptic and encouraging customers to read tea leaves…

They are advising that we can’t rely on journey planners… but don’t specify if this is only for Bristol and onwards journeys or if the whole line closer to London is impacted.

for us, if it seems impossible we’d return tonight rather than risk being stranded tomorrow…

Thanks in advance and hope I’ve got the right sub-forum!

Essential short-notice track repairs will block access to the Stoke Gifford Train Depot in the Bristol area on Sunday 3 November.

Although we will be able to move some trains to alternative locations in advance, fewer trains will be available for passenger service throughout the day. Services will also not be able to stop at Bristol Parkway.

This is in addition to pre-planned engineering work between Reading and Didcot which will already significantly limit our ability to run services between London Paddington, Bristol Temple Meads and South Wales.

Services that do run are expected to be extremely busy. Customers are advised to only travel if absolutely necessary on these routes.

Because of the late notice of some of these works, and the complexity of updating timetable systems, journey planners will not show every change correctly before Sunday morning.

We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused by this disruption. Customers with tickets for Sunday 3 November on the affected routes will be able to use them to travel on Saturday 2 or Monday 4 November. If you prefer, you can claim a full refund.

Emergency block to fix Stoke Gifford No. 2 crossover, presently has a 20mph Emergency Speed Restriction in place, which is causing cumulative delays to services.
