Delays to services between Taunton and Exeter St Davids
Due to a broken down train between Taunton and Exeter St Davids fewer trains are able to run on the Exeter St David's bound line.
Train services running through these stations may be delayed by up to 60 mins. An estimate for the resumption of normal services will be provided as soon as the problem has been fully assessed.

Managed to just dodge this one this morning. Heading to Taunton on the 0844 from Bristol I was only 10 minutes late while we waited for the rescue loco given priority at Cogload Junction.

On arrival at Taunton there was already a fleet of Rail Replacement coaches ready to be pressed into action. Not sure they were needed as Single Line Working was in place.
