Flood relief works at Cowley Bridge (Exeter) - temporary changes to South Western Railway services between Exeter and Salisbury
The times of most trains between Exeter and Salisbury will be changed between Tuesday 12th and Thursday 14th June due to engineering works.
Network Rail engineering works to improve the flood defences at Cowley Bridge near Exeter are scheduled to take place between 12-14 June 2018. The work will increase the rail network's resilience and reduce the impact of flooding on customers.
During the work, some Great Western Railway services will be diverted via Honiton. To facilitate this, South Western Railway will make a number of temporary changes to the timetable for services between Salisbury and Exeter. Customers using this route are strongly advised to check train times and how this may affect any onward travel plans before they travel.
The changes will not affect trains times between Salisbury and Waterloo.
For more information customers should go to https://www.southwesternrailway.com/plan-my-journey/planned-improvements/june-works . On-line journey planners include the revised times. Posters showing the revised times are on display at local stations.
