A note on the GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) forward engineering page says the line between Bourne End and Marlow will be subject to engineering work between 14th and 29th November.  No more details but it is probably a safe bet the line will be close between those dates.

Track renewals between Bourne End and Marlow for the duration with full branch line closures at weekends during those days.

And so it came to pass - with no delays due to Covid-19 or whatever. Of course Covid was already in town in May, and a second "lockdown" only makes now a better time to do it. NR» (Network Rail - home page) have a whole page on it, though it's GWR▸ (Great Western Railway)'s that gives the length of track to be renewed as 2.25 miles - which is near enough all of it.
