Heading west on the train this week?

Passengers are warned the railway between Taunton and Exeter will be closed this week for track renewal work.

Network Rail urges passengers to check before they travel as there will be a replacement bus service running between Taunton and Exeter St Davids until Saturday, October 3.

Meanwhile, there will be disruption on the Weymouth-Bristol line this coming weekend due to work at Westbury station. Trains from Weymouth will run as far as Frome and then passengers will have to get a bus for part of the journey before boarding connecting trains towards Bristol.
