<p>As part of the resilience element of its Western Route Study, Network Rail assessed
the route requirements which would support the diversion of an hourly Great Western
Railway (GWR) service from Exeter to Castle Cary via Taunton to Exeter to Castle Cary
via Yeovil in the event that the relevant section of the Great Western Main line is
restricted by, for example, engineering works or severe weather.</p><br /><p>This
assessment concluded that additional infrastructure would be required to accommodate
a combination of an additional hourly service between Exeter St Davids and Axminster
and an hourly diversionary GWR service.</p><br /><p>A copy of the Western Route Study
has been placed in the Library.</p><br />
