What has happened?

Flooding brought on by Storm Chandra and subsequent rain on saturated ground has meant that the Exeter to Barnstaple line has been closed.

What are my options?

We are running a limited rail replacement service between Exeter St David's and Barnstaple, in both directions.
This service is operated by a full size coach, therefore seats are less than compared to the train service.

Due to flooding between Liskeard and Looe the line is closed.
Impact:
Train services running to and from these stations have been suspended. Disruption is expected until the end of the day on 09/02/26.
Customer Advice:
What has happened?
-
Heavy rainfall during December combined with high tides resulted in the water levels at several bridges along the branchline being above the level which allows us to safely run trains. This caused some damage to bridges along the branchline which will require repairs.
-
What are we doing about it?
-
Network Rail has inspected the bridges, and it has been found that repairs to the infrastructure are required before we are able to run trains again.
-
Once the water levels drop again repair work will start, and then we should then be able to give a more accurate date for the Looe branchline reopening. Currently we do not expect to run trains until Tuesday 10th February at the earliest.
For further information and regular updates are available on our website at www.gwr.com
