A landslip has closed a train line in Devon and caused disruption to services in and out of the county.

National Rail said the incident happened at about 14:45 BST on Tuesday between Honiton and Axminster and has impacted South Western Railways (SWR) and Great Western Railway (GWR) trains.

A tweet from Network Rail Wessex said a small landslip had happened at one of the openings of the Honiton Tunnel and engineers had gone to the site.

Disruption has been forecast until 22:00 on SWR and GWR services, National Rail added.

Tickets from affected services are being accepted by other train and bus operators, National Rail said.

The organisation added replacement transport has been requested to help passengers.
