Fallen trees have caused disruption to rail services in Devon and Cornwall.
Great Western Railway (GWR) said it was advising customers to avoid travelling between Penzance and Exeter St David’s as “dozens” of trees had fallen onto the tracks.
GWR said cancellations and delays of more than two hours were expected.
