Customer Advice
Apologies to customers, owing to forecasted severe coastal weather along Dawlish sea wall we are unable to stop a few of our trains at Dawlish Warren, Dawlish and Teignmouth. Most trains will continue to operate. Customers are advised to travel from these stations to either Exeter St Davids or Newton Abbot in order to change trains to complete their journeys.
I was watching this on Open Train Times and the Dawlish webcams. The rescue train, a 5 coach
IET▸ (1Z99), departed Teignmouth on the down line to meet up with the stricken 2C64 at Dawlish. Meanwhile a service train was running wrong line from Dawlish Warren towards the west, and the two passed each other between Dawlish and Teignmouth, one travelling up on the down line and the other travelling down on the up line!
Having already been cancelled between Gloucester and Bristol Temple Meads because of a signalling problem, 2C64 (0700 Gloucester to Plymouth) , (5-car IET 802018) was rendered unconscious on the Dawlish sea wall by an over-zealous wave! Down services, where possible, are now using the bi-directional Up line between Dawlish Warren and Teignmouth.
** Edit ** No trains from Totnes towards Plymouth between 0841 and 1159 as a result
