COMMUTERS to London face an easier journey as an additional train is being introduced under annual changes.

The additional train will be added between Moreton-in-Marsh and Oxford to help create more space for customers on the popular 8.52am Great Malvern to Paddington service.

It is one of many changes added to a new timetable this year, which comes into effect on Sunday.

Service provider, First Great Western is urging customers to pick up a pocket timetable to check their journeys under the changes.

Staff with the provider have been familiarising themselves with the various changes so they are in the best possible position to help customers get used to the changes that affect them.

Over the past year, First Great Western customers have seen the best performance ever on the network, with 92.4 per cent of services arriving at their destination on time, a five per cent increase on last year.

The December changes are designed to improve this even more.
