This appeared on Twitter this evening. It seems clear that this was not a decision made within the industry. Apparently it is part of an email https://twitter.com/_railcards/status/1311363986240274432?s=21

533	Journey by Journey / Heart of Wessex / New footbridge at Castle Cary?	on: September 20, 2020, 20:48:23
A post on RailUK Forums mentions a new footbridge at the country end of Castle Cary station, seen there yesterday. It is not on Street View or Apple Maps. Dies anyone know anything about it.

From this morning?s SWT^▸ (South West Trains) travel check 06:07 Salisbury to Exeter St Davids due 08:22 Facilities on the 06:07 Salisbury to Exeter St Davids due 08:22. Service full and standing from Honiton. Getting back to normal?

Fine now

536	All across the Great Western territory / Looking forward - after Coronavirus to 2045 / Re: Network Rail decarbonisation policy	on: September 13, 2020, 08:31:25
Longer term it might make sense to do Southampton to Reading via Salisbury for the freight traffic at 25kv, then to Salisbury and infill Romsey to Bathampton also at 25kv. Longer term might be Salisbury to Exeter at 25kv, determined by use as diversion route. If so, it would seem sensible to add Yeovil Jn to Castle Cary for the same reason. However see attached image from this month?s Railway Magazine!
