Rail services between Salisbury and Exeter have been impacted by the recent heavy rainfall - with passengers warned not to travel until later in the day.

Today (Thursday October 21) South Western Railway services between Salisbury and Exeter St Davids will be affected by possible cancellations and delays of up to 90 minutes.

This is due to flooding on the line as a result of heavy rain and winds.

South Western Railway services between Yeovil Junction and Salisbury have also been suspended due to poor weather conditions.

Passengers are being urged not to travel between the two towns until 2pm.

There is disruption on the roads too this morning, with drivers in the Tisbury area urged to take extra caution after the River Nadder burst its banks.

This has resulted in a number of roads and bridges becoming "impassable" due to flooding, a police spokesperson has said.

A Facebook post says: "Please drive to the conditions - we have had multiple calls regarding road conditions and breakdowns this morning and officers, the fire service and council are working as quickly as possible to attend these incidents."
