“As "Nevman" says these are necessary planned engineering works and as there are no diversionary rail routes available west of Exeter the line has to be closed temporarily to carry out the work.Hence replacement road coaches.
So if your travelling by rail into Cornwall this week track improvements and maintenance are taking place from 02:00 on 16/02/13 to 02:00 on 22/02/13 between Plymouth and Liskeard.
Whilst work is taking place, buses will replace trains
between Plymouth and Liskeard
between Plymouth and St Austell
Also starting next Sunday 24/02/13 for five consecutive Sundays up to Easter in the other direction the rail line between Plymouth and Newton Abbot will also be closed for planned engineering works with busses replacing trains.So If your travelling beyond Exeter that will mean a coach trip up the A38/M5 to Tiverton Parkway station in order to continue your jourrney onwards by rail from there.”

“If you'd checked in advance when you booked your ticket, olddogbreath, you'd have noticed that replacement buses were scheduled for this planned engineering work. Railways aren't made of indestructium, you know.”

“So if you pay for a top class railway ticket, then have to travel by clapped out bus, do you get a refund?”
