We are getting in touch to remind you of essential track work happening in Devon and Cornwall over the next four weeks. 

Between Monday 24 February to Sunday 23 March, Network Rail will be undertaking essential track work as part of the Mid Cornwall Metro scheme to enable train service improvements. Trains will still run from Par towards Plymouth or Penzance, with replacement buses planned between St Austell and Newquay. 

From Saturday 8 March to Friday 14 March, Network Rail will be undertaking essential track work at Crediton, as well as on the Dartmoor Line to enable the new Okehampton Interchange station. As a result there will be no rail services between Exeter St Davids and both Barnstaple and Okehampton. 

Replacement buses are planned between Exeter St Davids & Barnstaple, and Exeter St Davids & Okehampton. These replacement buses will not stop at Yeoford, with separate services planned between Crediton and Yeoford instead.

Online journey planners have been updated and we'll also be making customers aware through station posters, station and on train announcements, and traditional and social media.

As ever, if you can help to make your networks aware, that would be greatly appreciated, and if there’s anything we can do to help please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Best wishes

Tom & Heledd
