THE SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY
Our network
• Inter-regional hourly service on West of England line• 3 and 6 car class 159 operation (best performing diesel fleet
in the UK)• Heavily constrained by single line infrastructure• 4 trains a day to Waterloo/Salisbury to Bristol Temple Meads• West of England has 2 main purposes:
– Inter-regional/local– Connecting East Devon, South Somerset, West/North Dorset and South
Wiltshire with London
• Increasingly important - diversionary resilience

Yeovil/South Somerset case study• Additional 7,400 dwellings and 50 hectares of employment
land in the next 12 years in Yeovil alone
• Additional 7,400 dwellings elsewhere in South Somerset with 100 hectares of employment land
• Main A roads - almost all will have significant upgrade work in the coming years
• A303 widening/tunnelling will be a major disruption but also a major opportunity for the railways
• No rail connection between the 2 lines despite infrastructure being available
• Local traffic congestion is considerable
