NETWORK Rail staff were working hard during the weekend of February 1 to 3 re-laying track through Crediton Railway Station.

It said that the upgrade was part of improvements to the Tarka Line and included resurfacing of the Fordton level crossing.

The route from Exeter St David’s to Barnstaple was closed while the work was carried out.

The weather was very cold and wintery while the works took place, some of it at night under floodlights.

A total of 660 metres of track was replaced in just over two hours as part of the works.
