A further update has been received from GWR with regard to disruption and closed lines following recent weather events:

Barnstaple/Okehampton lines remain closed due to adverse river conditions delaying bridge inspections by diving teams.  GWR do not expect reopening until Tuesday 10th February at the very earliest. Rain continues to be forecast so this may yet extended later into next week.

A limited rail replacement service continues to run, however from Monday 9th February this will be amended due a planned closure of the A377 between Eggesford and Crediton. Minibuses/taxis will run from Exeter to Barnstaple to service intermediate stations, and coaches will run between Barnstaple and Exeter via the North Devon Link Road. This will add time to the existing rail replacement journey duration.

The Looe branch line also remains closed, with rail replacement services continuing to operate.
