#Torbay Unfortunately we’ve had to cancel the 13:02, 2 service between Newton Abbot & Exeter Bus Station, due to severe delays on route.

The next bus from Newton Abbot will be the 13:32. This is unfortunately delayed by 20 minutes, due to congestion.

My error.
1Z50 and 1Z51 are Cross Country trains -I misread them as being Network Rail trains.

Thoughts to all those involved at Teignmouth.
Disruption now expected until 1600.

Is anyone able to advise which train, and the unit number, was involved in this incident?

A sister of the deceased, a Railfuture campaigner, would like to know, as she says it would help with "closure."
