Overview
- The route between Exeter St Davids and Newton Abbot shuts from 7pm Wednesday to 7am Thursday for emergency works, with trains still running on either side of the closure.
- GWR will operate replacement buses between Exeter St Davids and Newton Abbot and between Plymouth and Tiverton Parkway, and the Night Riviera sleeper is suspended on Wednesday night.
- A coastal footpath between Teignmouth and Smuggler's Lane closes from Wednesday evening for safety and is due to reopen early next week.
- GWR and Network Rail say the plan aims to restore services on Thursday morning, though further poor weather could affect timings and passengers are urged to complete trips before 7pm.
- Severe flooding across Devon continues to disrupt travel, with lines to Barnstaple and Okehampton closed and the Taunton–Exeter section shut by deep floodwater at Hele, prompting limited bus options and do‑not‑travel warnings.
