There will be some rail disruptions affecting late-night trains between Paddington and Reading this week.

Great Western Railway (GWR) between London Paddington and Reading is seeing engineering works starting today (Tuesday, August 12) until Friday (August 15).

Engineering work is specifically taking place between Slough and Reading, closing some lines in the small hours of Tuesday to Friday mornings.

The following trains will not call at Burnham or Taplow:

Tuesday to Thursday:

  • The 00:02 London Paddington to Reading service
  • The 00:19 Reading to London Paddington service
