Customer Advice
-

Apologies to customers travelling between Castle Cary and Weymouth today.

-

One of our drivers has reported poor railhead conditions owing to heavy Autumn leaf fall. This is causing the wheels of the train to trigger wheel slip alarms. As a result, our trains are therefore running at a reduced speed to ensure the safety of the line. Trains will therefore be subject to delays between Castle Cary and Weymouth.

When was the last time a RHTT ran over the line? I stepped back over RTT and cannot find one. Whereas the Salisbury Exeter line has almost one every day.
