Not seen this mentioned elsewhere.  Looks to be a considerable project: https://youtu.be/2epp16I0TNI

Yes, work done was very similar to Cowley Bridge Junction. It saw all Exeter trains terminate at Crewkerne, with buses  to Exeter, both fast and slow.

I did pass my mind that perhaps terminating trains here, rather than Yeovil Jct, during strike days could be attempted. The bus journey to get to Axminster and beyond might be easier than from Yeovil.
