Great Western Railway (GWR)<\/a> is warning passengers that services in Hereford and Worcester will be impacted by essential engineering work next week.<\/p>\n

Network Rail<\/a> it set to replace the tracks between Worcester Shrub Hill and Evesham stations, which it says will ensure the safe and reliable operation of the railway. <\/p>\n

As a result, GWR trains will be affected between Evesham and Hereford as well as between Cheltenham Spa and Worcester Foregate Street from Monday 22 to Friday 26 April:<\/p>\n

Trains will still run between London Paddington and Evesham via Oxford.<\/p>\n

Trains between Bristol Temple Meads and Worcester will terminate at Gloucester, with other train services running between Gloucester and Cheltenham Spa.<\/p>\n

CrossCountry will still operate train services between Gloucester, Cheltenham Spa, Ashchurch for Tewkesbury and Worcestershire Parkway.<\/p>\n

West Midlands Railway will still operate train services between Worcester Foregate Street and Hereford.<\/p>\n

Replacement buses will operate between Worcester Foregate Street and Evesham or Cheltenham Spa.<\/p>\n

All parking bays will be suspended in the car park at Evesham station from midnight on Thursday 18 to midnight on Friday 26 April.<\/p>\n

Billy White, GWR Station Manager for Oxford, Didcot and North Cotswolds, said: \u201cThis improvement work forms part of an ongoing programme of maintenance, helping to ensure that we can continue to provide consistent and reliable services.<\/p>\n

\u201cGWR will provide rail replacement services between Evesham or Cheltenham Spa and Worcester Foregate Street.<\/p>\n

\u201cTicket acceptance has also been agreed to enable customers to travel on other train services between London and Worcester or Hereford instead.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, these alternative travel arrangements via Birmingham or Bristol Parkway will make journey times much longer, so please check before you travel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Parker, Lead Portfolio Manager for Network Rail, commented: \u201cWe\u2019d like to thank passengers for their patience while we carry out this essential track replacement in the North Cotswolds.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce complete, this vital work will enable continued safe and reliable services to run on this popular route for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
