Network Rail says the work, which begins on Monday, is 'vital' and will help improve reliability.
Buses will replace Great Western Railway trains along the Henley branch while Network Rail carry out the workPassengers have been warned of disruption due to days of work on a section of rail line between Berkshire and Oxfordshire.
Replacement buses will be run between Twyford and Henley-on-Thames, between 00:30 BST on Monday and 05:30 Friday. A piece of equipment, known as a single-line excavation machine, will remove the old track between Wargrave and Shiplake before it is replaced.Mark Parker, Network Rail project manager, said: "This vital work will ensure the continued smooth running of trains on the Henley branch line and improve the reliability of services.
"We apologise for the disruption for passengers and those living near the railway and we'll be working round the clock to complete our work as quickly as possible." The road network is different to the train route, which means the replacement buses will run between Twyford and Shiplake, as well as stop at Wargrave and Henley-on-Thames.The level crossing at Shiplake will also be closed for the duration - a diversion will be in place for residents and emergency vehicles.
