Part of the main rail line in Devon has reopened after flooding caused a partial closure.

Earlier, Great Western Railway (GWR) said the line between Totnes and Plymouth had been blocked.

It warned passengers that trains running in the direction of Plymouth might be cancelled, delayed or revised.

On Friday afternoon, GWR said services were "returning to normal", with some "residual delays" expected.

The operator apologised for the disruption and said following an assessment, Network Rail had reopened the line.

Flood warnings and alerts have been issued across the region.
