The work is scheduled to take place at the weekends but may be subject to change due to the current COVID-19 situation.

Network Rail will be demolishing part of the existing platforms 1 & 2, then lengthening them to accommodate Great Western Railways longer 4 car trains at this station. While carrying out the work, there will be a site compound located in the land adjacent to platform 1. 

Work will take place as follows:

Network Rails work plans have been risk reviewed to comply with the current social distancing measures.

For reasons of safety, this type must be carried out while trains are not running. Network Rail are contractually obliged to work, whenever possible, at times that cause the least disruption to train services. Unfortunately, this means carrying out a lot of our improvements during the night and at weekends.

Due to the nature of this work and the machinery being used, some disturbance will be unavoidable. Network Rail sincerely apologise for any disturbance and inconvenience this essential work may cause.

All staff working on site are fully briefed on working responsibly in the local community and keeping noise levels to an absolute minimum level.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please visit www.networkrail.co.uk or telephone the Network Rail 24-Hour National Helpline on 03457 11 41 41.
