Train travellers between Exeter and Barnstaple are facing cancellations because of flooding caused by Storm Bert. Great Western Railway (GWR) said heavy rain had affected the line between Crediton and Yeoford and disruption was expected until at least 12:00 GMT.

More rain is due to fall on Tuesday and Wednesday in southern England and south Wales, where flooding and high winds from Storm Bert have caused major disruption to homes, roads and rail networks.

Britain's roads and railways were hit by closures on Monday after Storm Bert battered the country over the weekend, causing widespread flooding and killing four people.

Residents and businesses are continuing the clean-up operation after flooding caused by Storm Bert. Heavy rain and high winds caused widespread disruption across Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire,
