Title: Potential problems with West Country services - 29 Feb 16
Post by: bobm on February 27, 2016, 20:31:34
I gather there is likely to be an over-run in the engineering work between Plymouth and Totnes this weekend.

Following a collision between a loco and wagons a Class 70 is lying on its side near Ivybridge and the rails have been damaged.

Sleeper reservations have been suspended for both up and down services on Sunday night.

Have they managed to move the derailed train yet?
Lets hope the over run in the works isn't to bad!

Latest word suggests the line will reopen in time to allow the normal timetabled service to operate.

Without the need for hammocks, then.  :P
