There are upcoming closures of the railway to London Paddington, as part of HS2’s ongoing construction of the new station at Old Oak Common, just to the west of London Paddington.
As a result there will be no train services into or out of London Paddington this Sunday (26 November), or on Sunday 24 and Wednesday 27 December.
On these days, long-distance and most local GWR services will start/terminate at Reading instead of London Paddington. Limited GWR services and Elizabeth line services will run between Reading and Ealing Broadway. Customers can transfer at Ealing Broadway between national rail and London Underground services (Central and District lines) to/from central London.
On Sunday 26 November only, engineering work will also close the lines between Ealing Broadway and Slough until 1240. A limited replacement bus service will be in operation between these stations during this time.
Also, as usual, there will be no services across the GWR network on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
The advice to customers is to travel on alternative days to ensure a smoother journey. For those that need to travel, GWR recommend allowing plenty of time to reach their destination, especially if they’re making onward connections.
Journey planners have been updated with details on all closures. GWR will be making customers aware through traditional and social media, on board and station announcements, as well as station posters.
More information is available at www.GWR.com/HS2 and www.HS2.org.uk.

Network Rail will soon be working Looe branch line to carry out vegetation maintenance, helping to maintain a safe and reliable railway. The work will be done overnight so that teams can work safely, but please be aware these dates may change. Please see below for table of shift times.
DATE | SHIFT TIMES |
Saturday 25 – Thursday 30 November | Five consecutive overnight shifts: 10:30pm – 6:00am |
Saturday 2 – Thursday 7 December | Five consecutive overnight shifts: 10:30pm – 6:00am |
The safety of the public, travelling passengers and staff is Network Rail’s number one priority. Uncontrolled vegetation can pose a serious risk to the safe running of the railway. During Storm Eunice, more than 140 reports were received of fallen trees, branches, trampolines or other items on the track. Thankfully, no passengers were injured or train drivers harmed. However, the impact of a fallen tree could have been much worse. Incidents like this can lead to long delays for passengers which affects the whole of the UK network.
The nature of the work often means some noise is unavoidable but Network Rail will try to minimise this as much as possible and apologise in advance if there is any disturbance to local residents.
To contact Network Rail, please call the dedicated 24-hour National Helpline on 03457 11 41 41, or visit www.networkrail.co.uk/contactus
