Between Exeter St Davids and Okehampton

Description

More trains than usual needing repairs at the same time between Exeter St Davids and Okehampton means fewer trains are able to run. As a result, trains running between these stations may be cancelled.

This is expected until the end of the day.

Customer advice:

Your ticket can be used at no extra cost, in both directions on the following local bus routes:

  • Dartline Coaches route 66 between Exeter St David’s and Okehampton

  • Dartline Coaches route 369 between Exeter Central and Crediton

  • Stagecoach South West routes 5, 5A, 5B and 5C between Exeter Central and Crediton/Okehampton

If your train is cancelled, you may travel on either of the two services before, or two services after, your original train. If these are peak services or less flexible, you can still travel with your original ticket, at no extra cost.
