Heart of Wessex Engineering Trains - September 2024

The Heart of Wessex Line closed between Castle Cary and Weymouth on Monday 23rd September 2024 to Sunday 29th September 2024 as Network Rail replaced less than a mile of over fifty year old track. Improvements were also made to the junctions either side of Maiden Newton railway station. A rail replacement bus service operated during the closure period for passengers.
The first two engineering trains in association with the works arrived at Yeovil Pen Mill in the early hours of 23rd September.
