A gas leak near the railway at Didcot is still causing disruption to train services across the network today - we're sorry if your journey has been affected.
Teams from across the railway are working to keep customers moving as much as possible, but gas engineers are still working on fixing the leak so it is safe for trains to use the nearby tracks. Disruption is expected to continue until at least the end of today.
Network Rail Route director Marcus Jones explains what’s happening and the latest travel advice.
For the most up-to-date travel advice, please check gwr.com/check before travelling.
