Train services between Somerset and Dorset will be affected by rail improvements planned to take place until early December.

Network Rail will be renewing tracks on the Heart of Wessex line until Friday 3 December.

That work will affect Great Western Railway services to Weymouth.


Until Friday 3 December, buses will replace GWR trains between Yeovil Pen Mill and Weymouth. They will run every two hours, with one bus stopping at Dorchester West only, and a second bus stopping at all stations.

GWR Station Manager for Westbury, Wiltshire, and Dorset, James Wilcox, said: “We will continue to keep people moving, but I would encourage those who travel to check beforehand as departure times may be different to normal and journey times extended.

“This work is important to ensure we can continue to provide services between Somerset and Dorset that people can rely on and we thank customers for their patience during this time.
