As the Berks and Hants line is currently shut beyond Theale towards Westbury there's no via Westbury option available on the date you've chosen (which looks to be tomorrow, the last day of the works).

Via Basingstoke and Salisbury (I haven't checked for valid routeing) or using rail replacement bus through Newbury?

It doesn't look like there's any replacement buses running beyond Bedwyn in the direction of Westbury.


Adding 'via Westbury' to the journey planner sends you on a diverted B&H service (Reading to Westbury via Swindon/Melksham) but still charges you the 'not via London' ticket.
