Hi all,
A passing thought: anyone know how much of the newly installed signalling between Yeovil and Exeter has survived the recent weather at Axminster? South West Trains have said no services Honiton - Yeovil Junction because, following the flooding at Axminster, the line is "in need of extensive repair" and will remain closed probably until Wednesday 11th July.
For anyone wondering, workings are as follows atm:
- Trains between London Waterloo and Exeter St. Davids are running between London Waterloo and Yeovil Junction in accordance with the normal timings.
- Short workings are operating between Exeter Central and Honiton only. (Presumably they would use the bay platform at Exeter Central?)
If things on the railway through the Axminster area are as bad as it seems then any free-standing shunt signals on the flooded section of track (if there are any: I am not sure) could have been damaged / lost.
Lastly, if you have seen this on another forum that I posted this on then apologies for reposing.
Dave
