This will go on all day I fear, as it's absolutely torrential in West Cornwall presently and it's heading east...

Stagecoach supplied a double decker for a 0625am all stations to Exeter and a 0640 non stop to Exeter this morning.
Doesn’t appear to be many other road vehicles although I imagine some might appear once school runs are out of the way.

Those are scheduled RRBs▸ due to scheduled ongoing overnight resignalling works. |

This is an increasingly serious disruption to rail services on a key main line to a major city with no alternative rail route.
Scouring away of riverbed material around the base of bridge piers by water action is usually
rectified and prevented by the placing of a concrete apron/pad around the affected area.
Why this was not carried out at Brent Mill viaduct at an early stage / last summer, is a question
for NR» and the EA ..it’s not as if the delaying tactics of Doormice and Badgers were relevant in the river.

Why has this problem only come to light recently. The railway has been there for a great many years and I don't recall problems previously. Also presumably nobody available to operate the crossovers at Aish which ought to have been controlled from Plymouth.

I thought the same earlier. However, here in the far West it's now stopped and beginning to dry up, with a forecast of occasional bursts of the yellow circular thing in the sky! So perhaps conditions at Brent will improve for a midday normal service. |

One train an hour last night in each direction suggests there has been someone at the crossings at some times |

It’s an emergency crossover, it’s not signalled move so all movements need the authority of a pilotman. |

A crack has been found in the point work at Tiverton Loops. |

Cancellations to services between Exeter St Davids and Exmouth
Due to animals on the railway between Exeter St Davids and Exmouth the line is blocked.
Train services running to and from these stations will be cancelled. Disruption is expected until 10:00 23/05.
Customer Advice
Animals are blocking the railway near Topsham. It is proving difficult to move them in a safe and humane manner, meaning we are not able to run any trains between Exeter and Exmouth for the time being.
Causing delays and platform changes as to where to put trains terminating early at Central.
Also just seen this on RTT»
2T11 0920 St James' Park to Paignton
This service is partially cancelled
This service was cancelled between Exmouth and St James' Park due to a signal failure (IA).
It's all happening!

Reportedly a Swans' nest on the track!! Complete with parents and signets. When the driver tried to move them on, he was attacked! |
