Customer Advice
Due to a fault with the signalling system, we regret to advise all lines are blocked between Plymouth and Newton Abbott. Engineers are on way to investigate.

We will provide an update as soon as possible.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused to your journey today.
CrossCountry are conveying passengers between Plymouth and Bristol Temple Meads in both directions until further notice. Arrangements have been made for Great Western Railway rail tickets to be accepted for these journeys. Mutual ticket acceptance in agreement between Cross Country and Great Western Railway
South Western Railway are conveying passengers via any reasonable route until further notice. Arrangements have been made for Great Western Railway rail tickets to be accepted for these journeys.

So Cross Country are able to run without signals (as a general traveller could imply?)!
The 0558 (1A71) Plymouth to Paddington left 115 minutes down at 0753
