Over the four days of Easter 2015 the Great Western Main Line was closed between Reading and Hayes &amp; Harlington. This caused trains from Devon and Cornwall to reverse at Westbury then run via Salisbury to London Waterloo. The stop at Basingstoke was to allow connection with a service to Reading.
