Rail replacement buses will be running on the following dates:
Tuesday 24 December to Friday 24 January between Trowbridge and Salisbury
Wednesday 25 to Thursday 26 December 2024 no train or bus services on the SWR Network
Teams will be refurbishing the Sherrington Viaduct that runs over the River Wylye. Network Rail will be strengthening the viaduct, as well as carrying out some painting and masonry work to the abutments and piers.
Work will also be carried out to insulated block joints, which are mechanical joints which join two rails whilst keeping them electrically separate from each other, between Salisbury and Sherrington, as well as removing some dead or diseased trees in the same area.
This work has been timed to coincide with the Wales and Western region’s major upgrade work at Westbury station with the Southern region taking advantage of the closure to carry out additional improvement works.
