Delays on Devon services - merged posts, ongoing discussion

[whole diary]

[GBM]

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.

So the system knew there were various variations on those words, but wouldn't give me access to any of them.
Back to the 'my posts' section and find one of my earlier posts.  Long winded, but quicker than using the forum seach thing.

Having already been cancelled between Gloucester and Bristol Temple Meads because of a signalling problem, 2C64 (0700 Gloucester to Plymouth) , (5-car IET^▸ (Intercity Express Train) 802018) was rendered unconscious on the Dawlish sea wall by an over-zealous wave! Down services, where possible, are now using the bi-directional Up line between Dawlish Warren and Teignmouth.

** Edit ** No trains from Totnes towards Plymouth between 0841 and 1159 as a result

I was watching this on Open Train Times and the Dawlish webcams. The rescue train, a 5 coach IET^▸ (Intercity Express Train) (1Z99), departed Teignmouth on the down line to meet up with the stricken 2C64 at Dawlish. Meanwhile a service train was running wrong line from Dawlish Warren towards the west, and the two passed each other between Dawlish and Teignmouth, one travelling up on the down line and the other travelling down on the up line!
