Network Rail will be carrying out improvement work on the line between Newbury and Westbury next week, with further works to follow later in the year. This is to replace life-expired track as well as flood alleviation work at Newbury, ensuring the railway remains safe and reliable for use.

From Tuesday 17 to Thursday 19 September, the line between Newbury and Westbury will be closed. GWR have provided information on services and replacements during this time here: https://news.gwr.com/news/rail-journeys-to-be-affected-by-engineering-works-in-the-newbury-area
