Check before you travel: Evening service changes between Yeovil Junction and Exeter St Davids for vital engineering work

South Western will carry out vital engineering work between Yeovil Junction and Pinhoe in November.

Between Monday 23 and Thursday 26 November, engineers will carry out a large amount of tamping to re-pack ballast below the track’s sleepers and ensure that rails are level, as the line continues its recovery from the record-breaking temperatures of the summer.

This latest work will eventually allow engineers to safely remove the line’s speed restrictions and later, restore the normal timetable between London Waterloo and Exeter St Davids.

To minimise disruption for customers, tamping is carried out when trains are not running and usually takes place between the last train service of the night and the first train service of the following morning.

To give engineers more time and make as much progress as possible, train services between Yeovil Junction and Exeter St Davids will be replaced by buses from 2246, across four consecutive nights.

South Western is advising customers looking to travel between London Waterloo and Exeter St Davids, between Monday 23 and Thursday 26 November, to plan their journeys carefully.

Journey planners are up to date, and customers can check their journeys at www.southwesternrailway.com/plan-my-journey.
