Looking at yesterday, it seems that the engineering allowance between Crewkerne and Yeovil meant that trains still took only 9 minutes between the stations rather than the 15 allowed.
252  Journey by Journey / South Western services / Re: More bad news for travellers between Salisbury and Exeter on: September 03, 2022, 08:19:19
Now a track fault at Yeovil PM has blocked the line to Westbury so SWR» (South Western Railway - about) only running to Junction, while Weymouth line running to Pen Mill, and Castle cary to Westbury.
Buses inbetween

Tracksy shows a T3 possession at Tisbury, presumably the reason behind the plan to go via Westbury.
253  Journey by Journey / South Western services / Re: More bad news for travellers between Salisbury and Exeter on: September 02, 2022, 18:23:44
Engineering allowances in timetable
Tisbury to Gillingham 7 min
Gillinham to Templecombe 8 min
Yeovil Jct to Crewkerne 6 minutes
254  Journey by Journey / South Western services / Re: More bad news for travellers between Salisbury and Exeter on: September 02, 2022, 14:53:22
Saturday revised tt on RTT» (Real Time Trains - website) sees alt hours EXD» (Exeter St Davids - next trains) to WAT via Westbury with the other hour being EXD to GIL, presumably bus to Salisbury for connection.

Similar on Sunday with buses from Yeovil to Salisbury

From Monday there is the hourly Yeovil service with alt hours to Exeter
255  Journey by Journey / South Western services / Re: More bad news for travellers between Salisbury and Exeter on: September 01, 2022, 18:29:51
Now something similar seems to have happened between Templecombe and Gillingham, currently all lines blocked
