#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.
