The Town Council have been provided with the following update from GWR:

Services between Barnstaple and Crediton remain suspended. To reopen the remainder of the line to Barnstaple, specialist divers need to inspect submerged structures to ensure the safety of the route. The high-water level and currents have so far prevented divers from being able to access one of the structures on the route.

When possible, GWR plan to start operating a limited train service Exeter Central and Copplestone, calling at all stations between these two locations.  These additional services will be subject to ongoing weather conditions. Yellow weather warning for heavy rain are in place through this evening.

GWR anticipate that the entirety of the line to Barnstaple will not reopen until at least Tuesday 24 February for the reasons set out above.

Limited rail replacement transport remains in place for stations on the line and customers should check before they travel at www.gwr.com/check.
