Today is a disaster for GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) in Devon and Cornwall.
150 taken from Paignton- Exmouth double unit; maybe for Looe?
0625 out of Barnstaple a 2 car 158 then cancelled as the 0935.
The 175 training train from Exeter-Paignton cancelled maybe to use elsewhere.

GWR has never had the interests of passengers in Devon and Cornwall unless someone else is paying for it. I'd include SWR» (South Western Railway - about) as they are/were under they same umbrella.

Cancellations to services between Liskeard and Looe

Due to a fault on this train between Liskeard and Looe the line is closed.

Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled. Disruption is expected until 12:00 17/06.
Customer Advice
-
What has happened?
-
More trains than usual are needing repairs at the same time. We have an insufficient number of trains to guarantee a reliable service. This means that we have no train to run this service.
-
What are we doing about it?
-
We are working to repair this train and get it back into service as quickly as possible. We have done nothing to solve this underlying problem, which recurs frequently.
-
What are your options?
We are really really sorry, honestly [not] for the disruption to your journey today, these are the current options available to you but don't bother reading the copy-and-paste text which follows as it's unlikely to be relevant to the situation we've put you in. :
-
Option 1: If there are other rail companies or local public transport operators who may be able to help you make your journey, we will provide details here.
-
Option 2: We have requested local bus ticket acceptance and replacement road transport, once these are in place further details will be provided.
-
Option 3: If your train is cancelled, you may travel on either of the two services before, or two services after, your original train. If these are peak services or less flexible, you can still travel with your original ticket, at no extra cost.
-
Option 4: Consider postponing your journey until our service returns to normal.

Sorry, I'm verging on being less than impartial here, and I shouldn't, as an administrator. Lips sealed

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

I was on that verge too ... let's just say that sometime a true word is written in jest.

Well, here's something I hadn't expected to see
11:54 Liskeard to Looe due 12:24
11:54 Liskeard to Looe due 12:24 will no longer call at St Keyne Wishing Well Halt, Causeland and Sandplace.
This is due to overcrowding.

It might be a knock-on effect of disruption on the main line, with a slew of cancellations today.
