The Parish Council has received the below information from Network Rail:
Network Rail will be completing essential engineering work on the Sherrington Viaduct that runs over the River Wylye, beginning this Christmas.
Rail replacement buses will be running on the following dates:
• Tuesday 24 December to Friday 24 January between Trowbridge and Salisbury
• Wednesday 25 to Thursday 26 December 2024 no train or bus services on the SWR Network
Teams will be refurbishing the Sherrington Viaduct that runs over the River Wylye. We’ll be strengthening the viaduct, as well as carrying out some painting and masonry work to the abutments and piers.
We will also be carrying out work to insulated block joints, which are mechanical joints which join two rails whilst keeping them electrically separate from each other, between Salisbury and Sherrington, as well as removing some dead or diseased trees in the same area.
This work has been timed to coincide with the Wales and Western region’s major upgrade work at Westbury station with the Southern region taking advantage of the closure to carry out additional improvement works.
