Delay warning over closure of commuter line near Reading
The railway line linking Twyford with Henley is closed until Friday
A popular branch line connecting Berkshire with Oxfordshire will be closed this week.
It'll also mean disruption for passengers trying to travel from and to Wargrave and Shiplake.
Buses will replace trains but a 12 minute train journey will take nearly 30 minutes on the road.
Mark Parker, Network Rail project manager, said:
“This vital work will ensure the continued smooth running of trains on the Henley branch line and improve the reliability of services.
“Without another rail to bring our equipment in, we’ll use a single-line excavation machine to help us work in this challenging area.
“We apologise for the disruption for passengers and those living near the railway and we’ll be working round the clock to complete our work as quickly as possible.”
Trains are due to operate again from 0530 on Friday 18th August.
