Landslip closes rail line in Somerset
A landslip near Crewkerne has resulted in the closure of lines through Yeovil Junction. It's another setback for rail passengers in the region. Network Rail say it could take weeks to fix.
Rail line through Crewkerne reopens - at 5mph
Trains are again running through Crewkerne and on into Devon following yesterday's landslip - but at speeds down to 5mph. A short while ago South West Trains said services were resuming between Waterloo and Exeter St Davids.
