2F28 1719 Paignton to Exmouth seems to have gone through on the up line, albeit 26 minutes down, so temporary speed restriction in the affected area perhaps.
1A91 1549 Plymouth to London Paddington been sat at Newton currently 100+ minutes down, but in platform 2; whilst 2F29 1740 Paignton to Exmouth sits in platform 1 as well.
1A91 now been given the road.

Limited road transport is operating between Exeter St. David's and Plymouth.

That was the message given to pax on trains, but was news to staff at Exeter St David's!  IIRC (if I recall/remember/read correctly) one coach turned up at Exeter St David's having come up from Plymouth, but by the time it arrived, the line had reopened!  Stagecoach were accepting tickets on their Gold service from Paignton to Plymouth via Totnes.

Apologies if the 'like' seems inappropriate.
I was thanking a-driver for their reply, rather than liking the actions of the vandals.

Not a problem GBM. I often using ‘like’ as a way of saying thank you to a member who’s posted an explanation or answering a question.
