Overview

  • GWR has warned that crew shortages on Sunday, July 27, are likely to force changes to published services across multiple key routes.
  • Routes affected include Bristol Temple Meads to Gloucester and Taunton, Westbury to Portsmouth and Weymouth, and Reading to Gatwick and Basingstoke.
  • Passengers should anticipate fewer trains, more crowded carriages and possible short-notice cancellations on the impacted lines.
