The South West have experienced yet more damage due to stormy weather with Crewkerne being victim to a landslide.

The landslide, which was reported by Network Rail, means that popular routes in and out of Exeter ( including Exeter to Waterloo) are blocked.

Earlier in the week nearby town Dawlish was affected by the weather after waves destroyed the train line.

Bridgewater and Yeovil routes are also both currently blocked due to this weekend's landslide and continued bad weather.

Network Rail said:

"It is likely that the slip at Crewkerne will be...

Report: Exeter City 1 Portsmouth 1

Liam Sercombe rescued a point for Exeter City right at the death as the Grecians drew 1-1 with Portsmouth at St James Park.

After joining the Grecians from Bristol Rovers in a two-way loan swap for Alan Gow on Friday, Eliot Richards...

#1 – Production Line Work

Boring, boring, boring! Just imagine being stuck on a production line, doing the same thing for eight plus hours at a time, in a horrible factory. Not to mention the often unsociable hours and the fact that you might have to work night shifts which will do your body clock the world of good. Not! Make sure you make the most of your days off as another soul destroying shift of placing the gherkins into the jar on the production line looms menacingly around the corner!

Children love Exeter City Football in the Community department’s holiday football courses and we're hoping parents will love our 10 per cent discount for all half-term bookings made up until 5pm on Valentine's Day.

Sean Hughes has probably changed a little bit since you last saw him. He is, after all, forty seven and not on our screens as much as he was in his Nineties TV heyday. Even his Irish accent has faded. But he’s still funny.

His latest show Penguins begins in zany fashion with Sean performing a brief puppet show to the strains of Edith Piaf’s 'Je ne regretted rien'. Which he proceeds to mime to. While in drag. The reasons for his choice of dress are never really explained and Sean even questions his own music selection arguing (convincingly) that anyone who tells you that they have...
