According to the National Rail journey planner buses replace trains between Plymouth and Exeter every Sunday(7th,14th,21st,28th) and one Saturday(13th) in March.Any idea what and where the engineering work is.

Is that at Ivybridge? A couple times I have gone on the Fgw Website on the service updates it says about overunning work at Ivybridge. I doubt it though  Huh

You will often find that when these Possesions are taken there more than one Worksite, with oppertunity being taken to do work in various places that would not be available during normal service.
They all have a time to ''Give Up'' by but this is often overran by at least one where as others may actually finish early.
The line cannot be re opened before all Worksites have given up.

Apparently the Sunday engineering blockades between Exeter and Plymouth in March are basically AM as they will terminate between 1200 and 1320 on Sundays throughout March with the exception of the weekend of the 13th/14th March which is a complete 2 day blockade.

Did Network Rail stumble across a briefcase full of cash??

That's been needing doing for ages. Presume it will be a new fangled LED signal, with one lens.

They have put a new one of those up just before Exeter St. Thomas on the up.

Must be why the bend at Chacewater (runs by the A30) is being relayed - it's only just been changed from 'bolted'.
