Rail passengers have been hit by delays this morning after a train hit a tree between Newton Abbot and Paignton.
First Great Western said the collision is likely to cause delays throughout this morning adding that Stagecoach are accepting train tickets on bus service 12.
No one is believed to have been injured in the collision and FGW said they are now awaiting a full assessment to be done.
National Rail said:
"A tree on the line between Paignton and Torre means that trains are unable to run between Paignton and Newton Abbot.
"Buses will replace trains between these stations, extending journey times by up 60 minutes. There is no firm estimate yet of how long disruption will last but it is likely to continue until at least 08:30."
