GWR have issued urgent advice to commuters with a minimum four-hour railway closure between Plymouth and Liskeard.

The closure is due to the line’s proximity to an unexploded World War II bomb found under a property in Keyham, which is set to be moved by experts to the sea in a location off of the breakwater at Torpoint.

With the risk of the bomb exploding during its move, an exclusion zone including a section of the railway line has been put in place.

A spokesperson for GWR said: “Emergency services need to close the railway between Plymouth and Liskeard from 1400 to 1800 today

“Travel advice: Towards Devon and Cornwall: Avoid travel beyond Plymouth and delay your journey – tickets for today will be valid later today and tomorrow (Saturday, February 24).
