The railway line between Salisbury and Yeovil has been closed for the last ten days, and Network Rail have been busy.
They have been undertaking a huge amount of work on the line to improve both the railway and the facilities around it.
It has meant that trains have been unable to run on the line, with replacement buses running to stations between Salisbury and Yeovil.
The line is due to reopen on Monday, 11th December.
During the work, around 1,400 yards of new track have been laid.
Improvements have also been made to the Compass Bridge track near Tisbury.
During the closure, their teams have been:
- Replacing track from Tisbury to Sherborne
- Clearing dangerous vegetation between Tisbury and Sherborne
- Completing level crossing maintenance between Tisbury and Templecombe
- Installing cabling between Tisbury and Sherborne
