Trains between Exeter St Central and Okehampton
Description
More trains than usual needing repairs at the same time between Exeter Central and Okehampton means fewer trains are able to run. As a result, trains may be cancelled.
Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
Additional Information:
One of the trains that operates the Exeter St Davids to Okehampton service has developed a fault that needs mechanical attention. Great Western Railway do have another train that is operating the service, which means they can only operate half of the service for the rest of today.
