Thank goodness this is east of Exeter and there is an alternative route even if problems serving intermediate stations and delays to passengers travelling from off the closed section to the east through to off the closed section to the west.

Through passengers Westbury to Dorchester / Weymouth - alternative  route available via Southampton, I presume?

Still early, but perhaps there's a Weymouth to Castle Cary shuttle?    Good to see that Frome IS being served.
