Hourly trains between London Paddington and Bristol Temple Meads will use an alternative route via Bristol Parkway, not stopping at Chippenham or Bath Spa.
Trains will also run every hour between London Paddington and Bath Spa via Chippenham.
Replacement buses are planned between Bristol Temple Meads and Bath Spa. Valid rail tickets will also be accepted for travel on First West of England buses.
Replacement buses cannot stop near Oldfield Park or Keynsham railway stations.
Instead in Oldfield Park the replacement buses will use the Bellotts Road bus stop on the A36 Lower Bristol Road (towards Bath Spa) and the bus stop on Windsor Bridge Road (towards Bristol Temple Meads).
In Keynsham buses will pick up or drop off at the stop outside St John’s Church (towards Bath Spa) and the bus stop on Bristol Road opposite the church (towards Bristol Temple Meads).
Yellow signage will be in place to direct customers between the station and the bus stops.
All changes have been uploaded into online journey planners and GWR says it is also making customers aware at stations and on board through announcements and posters.

Trains will still run between Bath Spa and Westbury, Portsmouth Harbour, Frome or Weymouth; and Bristol Temple Meads and Cardiff Central or Gloucester.
