| Customers told to travel the day before or day after |
| To allow for work on the new HS2 station at Old Oak Common – and Network Rail improvements to track, signals and overhead wires between Reading and Paddington – engineering work will take place over the weekend of 16/17 November. On Sunday 17 November, Great Western Railway will be operating a reduced timetable. Most long-distance services will start from or terminate at Reading, where customers will be able to pick up TfL Elizabeth line trains to Ealing Broadway and then change for London Underground services into central London. GWR has relaxed ticket restrictions to allow customers to switch journeys to travel on Saturday 16 or Monday 18 November instead. Where long-distance services are able to operate on Sunday, 17 November, they will be extremely busy, and given the possibility of short-notice cancellations or alterations, customers should check their journey on the day. On Saturday, 16 November, long-distance GWR services will still run between London Paddington and Reading; however, services will be reduced, and there will be no GWR stopping services between London Paddington and Reading |
