Cancellations to services between Exeter St Davids and Yeovil Junction
Due to a landslip between Exeter St Davids and Yeovil Junction all lines are blocked.
What's Going On:
Train services running through these stations will be cancelled. Disruption is expected until the end of the day on 06/12/23.
What We're Doing About It:
The recent heavy rain and flooding is causing earth to move above the Crewkerne Tunnel and the line is closed to all services on safety grounds.
Engineers will conduct a further daylight assessment of the site on Tuesday and the tunnel will definitely be closed until at least Thursday 7th December.
In addition to this, heavy flooding of local roads is affecting the replacement bus services running between Salisbury and Yeovil Junction.
With further rain forecast in the next 48 hours there is potential that no services will run until the weekend.
Please do not attempt to travel between Salisbury and Exeter on Tuesday 5 or Wednesday 6 December.

Happy to be corrected, but I don't think their crew sign beyond Castle Cary. In normal times you might be able to borrow GWR crews to pilot SWR crew, but even if that was considered worthwhile there's no chance of it with the overtime ban in place this week.
