Services at the station were disrupted throughout 2021 due to cracks found in the Intercity Express Trains, causing the loss of the regular direct service to London which it previously had (although there are some direct services in peak times). Since 2021, there has been a diesel shuttle between Newbury and Bedwyn; 5 years later, despite the cracks being resolved and continued complaints, this service is still in operation.eNRT May 2026 Edition, Table 122 (Network Rail) Rail (magazine) reported GWR's position on the matter, sayingThe [Bedwyn Trains] passenger group has been in regular contact with GWR, which has told customers it does not know when regular Bedwyn services might be restored.
The operator has said it would not be possible to restore even one of the train sets used on the route, which would enable one third of through services. It also told the passenger group that it would not be possible for trains serving nearby Pewsey to make additional stops.
