There was a mention on BBC Breakfast TV this morning that there will be no trains between Newbury and Reading for three weeks beginning in March (busses instead). I can't find a link that tells when this starts and (plans) to end. Any one know? Thanks

I am not worried about getting to work and back, it is that the information is poor. It doesn’t explain how it will work: a bus from Newbury to Reading direct, or a bus from Newbury to Didcot then change to a train to Reading. That isn’t clear in the link.

The answer is buses are going to run to either I believe. There will also be a rail service from Theale with a bus to there. Why the site says GrateleyI am not sure as I would have thought Whitchurch was nearer? Perhaps it is something to do with parking availability. If I find out more I will let you know. |

If you don't know for sure I guess plans are still being drawn up. I'm unconvinced that these "days" won't turn into weeks. It is an infrastructure project so if its on time and on budget.....it will be amazing.😂 |
