Train disruption expected by GWR due to crew shortages

Train passengers in the West of England have been warned to expect disruption on the railways on Sunday due to “crew availability”.

Great Western Railway (GWR) said fewer trains would run on a number of routes and that those that do run are likely to be busier.

Those travelling between Bristol Temple Meads and Gloucester or Bristol Temple Meads and Taunton should check their journeys before they travel.

Service between Westbury and Portsmouth or Weymouth may also be cancelled, and also those between Reading and Gatwick and Reading and Basingstoke.
