From Network Rail:
 I am writing to make sure you are aware of the weeklong line closure between Yeovil Pen Mill and Weymouth from Saturday 24 to Friday 30 September.
This will allow our engineers to carry out the latest in a series of improvements on the Heart of Wessex line (which connects Weymouth with Bristol Temple Meads on the Great Western Railway network), which saw four miles of track replaced between November and December last year.
Our engineers will work around the clock to replace around a mile of old 1950s-style track in Cattistock, between Maiden Newton and Chetnole, as well as improve signalling at Yeovil Pen Mill and in the Dorchester area. We will also resurface the platform at Yetminster station, repair brickwork at Evershot Tunnel (between Maiden Newton and Chetnole), repair steelworks at Damers Road Bridge and complete biodiversity works at all stations along this section of the network.
