RAIL passengers travelling to and from Weymouth and Dorchester are warned they will have to get a bus for part of their journey tomorrow.

Engineering works mean the line will be closed, affecting both Weymouth-Waterloo trains (South Western Railway) and Weymouth-Bristol trains (Great Western Railway).

For London-bound passengers, replacement buses will be laid on between Weymouth, Dorchester South and Wareham where connecting trains will be waiting.

On the Westbury-Bath-Bristol line, buses will be laid on between Weymouth, Dorchester West and Yeovil Pen Mill.

Passengers planning to travel are warned journeys will take longer than usual and to check train times in advance.
