All South Western Railway services have now been suspended and customers are urged not to travel as Storm Eunice continues to wreak havoc on the region.

This affects all trains running through Axminster to Exeter or London Warerloo.

In a joint statement, South Western Railway (SWR) and Network Rail said: "Gusts of more than 90mph wind have caused multiple incidents across the SWR network today, with 30 fallen trees already blocking key routes.

"As a result, SWR services have been suspended until at least 6pm and we strongly urge customers not to travel at this time. We are working hard to restore services, but ask customers to make alternative travel plans if they can.

"Customers should regularly check the 'Plan my Journey' page on SWR's website, which will be updated with the latest information every hour.

"We would like to apologise to our customers for the impact this will have on their journeys, but – as always – our primary concern is the safety and welfare of customers and colleagues out on the network."
