Rail customers urged to plan ahead this Easter as Network Rail carries out embankment stabilisation work between Axminster and Pinhoe and essential track upgrade work in the Staines area.

From Friday 29 March to Monday 1 April customers are being urged to check before they travel as buses replace trains across part of Network Rail’s Wessex route while Network Rail completes a range of essential upgrades to the railway as part of a wider £89m programme of investment across the country.
