SWINDON travellers are facing train delays over Easter.

First Great Western announced the hold-ups would be occurring throughout the break from Good Friday until Easter Monday.

The affected routes are Swindon to Didcot Parkway and Swindon to Chippenham. These lines will be closed from March 21 to 24 with replacement buses operating between the stations.

Train services will run from Didcot Parkway to Oxford and Reading onwards, as well as Chippenham to Bath and Bristol Temple Meads.

The changes are a result of track engineering work being carried out by Network Rail.
