A signalling fault on the Gunnislake Branch has meant we have to suspend the service for the rest of the day.

The 13:14 from Gunnislake was terminated at St Budeaux Victoria Road at 13:47. The train might be still sitting there at 17:06 (or the train description is still showing if the train was moved as an unsignalled move).
National Rail shows it as a points failure; not a signal failure as on Journeycheck. Another points failure today at Exeter St Davids, although this has now been fixed.
