rail improvement works on the North Cotswold line next week

Just getting in touch to remind you of the rail improvement work taking place next week on the North Cotswold line, between Charlbury and Moreton-in-Marsh. Network Rail will be replacing track on this route to ensure the railway remains safe and reliable for use.

Between Monday 12 and Thursday 15 August, no trains will run between Charlbury and Moreton-in-Marsh, with replacement buses running instead. Trains will still run between London Paddington and Charlbury via Oxford, and between Moreton-in-Marsh and Worcester/Hereford. There will also be a limited number of trains that run direct between Worcester/Hereford and London Paddington via Swindon.

Online journey planners have been updated and we’ve also been making customers aware through on board and at station announcements, station posters and digital displays, and through social and traditional media including our media release here: https://news.gwr.com/news/rail-journeys-to-be-affected-by-engineering-works-in-the-north-cotswolds
