Customer advice:

South Western Railway

After being advised of a landslip blocking the line between Exeter Central and Axminster and Network Rail engineers carrying out emergency engineering repairs, the line has now opened and trains are able to run on this line.

Whilst the train service returns to normal, as a safety measure for both passengers and colleagues alike; trains will be running at a reduced speed of 50mph whilst they pass through the affected area which will cause delays.

For further information or onward travel advice please speak to a member of staff or use a station help point.
