We are sorry for the disruption to your journey today.

Heavy snow fall in the area between Crediton and Okehampton on Thursday 21st caused a number of trees to fall on to the railway. Network Rail are working to clear these trees (so far they've removed at least 37 trees) and inspect the line for any damage. This work is expected to last in to the weekend, and we are not expecting to run trains on the line until Monday 25th November.
