So I take it that the journey time of 45 minutes for the rail replacement bus between Warminster and Salisbury is somewhat factious if it has to go down the A350 and along the A303 before rejoining the A36.

Wouldn’t have meet connecting train services at Warminster and Southampton then.

This isn’t the first time work on the railways has clashed with work on the roads. You do wonder sometimes whether the various authorities ever talk to each other. I am aware that rail engineering work is planned a long way in advance in most situations.

Well planned ??

There are no trains from Warminster to Southampton today, Rail Replacement buses will run instead....................well, sort of - the A36 is shut between Heytesbury and Codford for the whole weekend. The diversion is via the A303.........well planned indeed !
