Train services to Weymouth are set to be affected by improvement works in March.

The work will take place in the Yeovil area and other essential work will take place along the Heart of Wessex Line between the 10th and 16th March.

Rail replacement buses will be in operation, and passengers need to check them before travelling.

Reduced parking will be available at Castle Cary and Yeovil Pen Mill to allow the rail replacement buses to run.

“While there is never a good time to close the railway, we have worked incredibly hard to minimise the disruption for passengers.

“This work is vital to ensuring this part of the network is strong for the years to come. Once completed, passengers will benefit from a more reliable journey between Yeovil and Castle Cary.”

Mark Goodall, Wessex Route Director for Network Rail
