Is this a double reversal via Reading station or are they running non-stop Oxford - Basingstoke?
Believe it's the week after Easter they are using it rather than the Easter weekend. Easter weekend XC are terminating at Basingstoke and Didcot Parkway. 2nd-5th April XC are using Reading West Curve, calling additionally at Reading West. There are also two FGW services using it over the same dates. 1K71 0520 Bristol Temple Meads-London Paddington and 1A72 0604 Frome-London Paddington. Both these trains call at Reading West, reverse and call at Tilehurst before calling at Reading.

Just to note this is only the 'Bournemouths', the 2 hourly Southampton extensions on the Newcastle route do not appear to be running through that week.
It surprised me though that (even with a reduced FGW timetable running through the 4 new platforms only), they can still afford to have a Voyager sitting in platform 14 for about half an hour between arriving and departing:
