(Screenshot attached) Thanks in advance No idea ;D Quote Network Rail have had to close the railway line between Exeter St Davids and Taunton to allow the Emergency Services to access an incident near the railway. It says "near" not "on", and it's expected to be just a limited time closure, so I would read it as not being in itself rail related, and not being something major / structural such as a fire in a lineside building or unexploded bomb.

This was in the Wellington area. Unexpected death but not suspicious. Line block was required to recover the body. Normal working resumed at 1440.
