Fewer trains – so take the plane

Tunnel trouble to London

There will be fewer trains to London on the West of England line from Monday 18 February until Friday 8 March 2019.

The closure of a train tunnel between Exeter and Taunton will mean that journey times will be extended by up to an hour with diversions and a rail replacement transport. The planned upgrade work between Exeter St Davids and Taunton will be ongoing for three weeks and the revised timetable will be in place.

During this time, travellers may wish to fly to London City airport.
