Yet more misery for rail passengers

Rail commuters were today facing further disruption after First Great Western reported flooding and landslips in the following areas: Exeter to Tiverton Trains continue to be unable to operate between Tiverton Parkway Station and Exeter St Davids. Therefore, High Speed services from Penzance, Plymouth, towards Bristol Temple Meads and London Paddington will terminate at Exeter St Davids with road transport toTiverton for rail connections. High Speed Services from London Paddington towards Exeter St Davids and the West of England will terminate at Tiverton with road transport to Exeter St Davids. There is still limited road transport in operation between Tiverton and Exeter St Davids and Newton Abbot , as this is still being hampered by flooded roads and a reducing number of vehicles being available as the evening progresses. The line between Exeter St David's and Tiverton is expected to reopen on 29th December. Other Service Information: Services between Par and Newquay are now operating on a reduced rail timetable.. Services between Exeter St David's and Barnstaple are currently operated by road transport and thsi continue for the rest of today. The line is expected to be closed until at least 29th December.
