Yes, work done was very similar to Cowley Bridge Junction. It saw all Exeter trains terminate at Crewkerne, with buses to Exeter, both fast and slow.

I did pass my mind that perhaps terminating trains here, rather than Yeovil Jct, during strike days could be attempted. The bus journey to get to Axminster and beyond might be easier than from Yeovil.
