Our Current/Ongoing Campaigns and Work are:
-
We are working to ensure that we are not downgraded as a station due to electrification terminating at Newbury. See our Electrification page for more information.
-
To get GWR, during the 2018 line closures, to agree to direct buses from Bedwyn to Didcot, Theale or Reading
-
To get Network Rail to reverse their policy of automatically putting us on buses when there is a chance that the points, on our turn back siding, freeze. Instead we want a heater installed or stops on the through trains when this occurs.
-
To have short notice cancellations properly announced at the station.
-
To feed into the consultations for future service patterns. Please see our Published Documents page.
-
An additional direct service to London Paddington between 0700 and 0800 weekdays. We lost this in the December 2006 timetable changes.
-
The provision of a commuter service west, preferably direct to Exeter or Bristol, to serve Reading, Theale, Thatcham, Newbury, Kintbury, Hungerford, Bedwyn and Pewsey.
-
Improved punctuality and reliability.
-
Improved holding of trains at Newbury, or additional services from Newbury, if the incoming London connection is delayed.
-
Improved station signage for westbound travel.
