Train services in Devon and Cornwall are set to be disrupted by floods into next week, Great Western Railway has warned, as forecasters predict more rain to come. Network Rail said engineers have inspected the Barnstaple and Okehampton lines and found sections where the ballast has been washed away. Specialist divers will be carrying out underwater inspections of the structures, but they can only enter the water once the levels have dropped. The Met Office has issued yellow warnings of rain for Devon and Cornwall today.

An overhead line fault near Salford Quays in Manchester is expected to disrupt Metrolink services on the Eccles line until further notice while repairs are carried out. TfGM said there is no service between Eccles and Pomona.
