Some South Western trains will be cancelled, diverted or replaced by buses this week due to maintenance work.

The work will affect trains from Monday (November 18) and Friday (November 22).

We have compiled all the details on these works so that you can plan your journey this week.

Monday to Friday (November 18 to November 22):

Axminster to Exeter

The lines between Axminster and Exeter will be closed from Monday to Friday, all days inclusive, due to maintenance work.

London Waterloo to Exeter services will terminate at Axminster.

Buses will run between Axminster and Exeter.

A statement on the South Western Railway website says: “Late evening and early morning services may need to be altered for emergency repairs or planned work.

“We are sorry that bulky luggage, cycles and prams cannot be carried on the replacement bus services.

“Please check if you are planning to travel after 11pm or before 5.30am as buses may replace trains at short notice.”
