Poor road conditions mean bus replacement services cannot be provided on the route between Exeter St Davids and Barnstaple/Okehampton and customers are advised not to travel. Simon Gillibrand, Network Rail’s Western route operations director, said: “Travel in Devon and Cornwall will continue to be disrupted into the first week of February because of the widespread flooding in the region following back-to-back storms. "The storms have however caused some damage to the railway infrastructure and some of which, such as these vital branch lines, continue to be under water. “We need the water levels to subside before our friends at Network Rail can check the tracks and make any repairs as necessary." “Until then we will keep you moving on road replacement transport where we can.”
