Yes - confirmed for the Saturday.

There are engineering works that are planned to close the Heart of Wessex line to the south of Yeovil and the West of England main line to the west of Totnes that day (and in the days before too), and the plan is to have buses run direct to the meeting from Plymouth, and from Bournemouth/Poole with intermediate pick ups(?) at Yeovil for the meeting.


Still time to sign up for THIS FRIDAY - 24th October 2025.

TWSW is nothing if not a members organisation ... and there was a very strong view on Friday last that it should NOT be on a Saturday ... in particular, professional experts and managers who address us - from both the public transport industry and from the public sector could/would not join us.  So - while we are in very good time - a decision to switch to Friday, 6th March 2026.  I will flush the subject kine through to reflect that in due course.

You might want to review that date in the light of planned engineering work.    The line will be closed in stages between Plymouth and Exeter St Davids between 21st February and the 8th March.  Work is scheduled on two bridges during that time.

There is also a closure from Weymouth to Yeovil Pen Mill between the 28th February and 8th March.

Yeah ... we know, but thanks, Bob.
