Network Rail to Upgrade Heart of Wessex Line

Network Rail is undertaking a significant upgrade to the Heart of Wessex line, which will bring smoother and more reliable journeys for customers travelling between Somerset and Dorset.

The upgrade involves replacing outdated track and repairing brickwork at Evershot tunnel. This work is part of an ongoing programme of improvements to the line, which has seen significant investment over the last three years.

During the upgrade, buses will replace Great Western Railway (GWR) trains between Yeovil Pen Mill and Weymouth. Alternative road transport arrangements will be in place for customers, and ticket acceptance has been agreed with South Western Railway (SWR) to ensure customers can complete their journeys.

The upgrade is expected to take place over a five-day period, with work taking place around the clock. Network Rail's team of engineers will be working to minimize disruption to train services and ensure that customers can continue to travel safely and reliably.

Oliver Frost, Network Rail project director, said: "We're committed to delivering a reliable and efficient railway service for our customers. This upgrade is an important step in achieving that goal, and we're grateful for the patience and understanding of our customers and nearby residents while we complete this work."

Jordan Welsby, Great Western Railway's station manager for Westbury, Wiltshire and Dorset area, added: "This upgrade is part of an ongoing programme of improvements that will enable us to maintain services for our customers travelling between Somerset and Dorset for years to come."
