Buses are to replace Dartmoor trains later this month as Network Rail completes important repairs to Yeoford bridge in Penstone.

Train services between Crediton and Okehampton, and Crediton and Barnstaple, will be replaced by buses from February 19 to 27 whilst critical repairs take place in order to help maintain and improve the reliability of the bridge and stretch of railway.

They are also using the time to increase line speed between Crediton and Coleford Junction.

Track has also been upgraded between Paignton and Torquay in the January and February weekend closures.

Could an express/s bus services be provided from Tiverton to Barnstaple?

as I presume thats where most passengers are heading for if arriving from a Northerly direction.
