Description

Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

Customer advice:

Due to more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time, some services between London Waterloo and Exeter St Davids along with services between London Waterloo and Salisbury and onto Yeovil Junction via Westbury will either be cancelled, revised or formed of fewer carriages than normal.
