CUSTOMERS are being advised to check their journey today before leaving home because of a shortage of train crew.
With fewer people available to work, GWR is warning of short notice cancellations and alterations, especially on long distance services between London Paddington and Bristol Temple Meads.
A limited rail replacement service is in operation between Swindon and Stroud via Kemble.
The 10.36am Swindon to Stroud and 12.30pm trains have for example been cancelled, meanwhile the 1.31pm and 2.31pm from Stroud to Swindon have also been cancelled.
If your train is cancelled, you can use your existing ticket on the next available service.
Rail replacement buses will operate on the Kemble line between Swindon and Gloucester.
GWR expects to run a full level of service on Monday 17 June.
