Landslip closes Dartmoor railway line in Devon
Railway services in part of Devon have been cancelled after a landslip forced a train line's closure.
National Rail said the incident had been reported between Crediton and Okehampton on the Dartmoor Line at about 01:40 BST.
It said Great Western Railway train services running between Exeter St Davids and Okehampton had been suspended, with disruption expected until 13:00.
A spokesperson added Network Rail engineers had not been able to reach the landslip site safely due to the local weather conditions.
National Rail said rail replacement services had been arranged to help passengers affected by the closure.
Passengers could also use their train tickets on Stagecoach bus routes 5A and 6A between Exeter St Davids and Okehampton.
Trains on the Tarka Line, between Exeter St Davids and Barnstaple, would still stop at Crediton, National Rail added.
