According to DevonLive - between the ads - the car was slightly proud of the stop line and was clipped by the train.

Half term, a week without school work, so drivers have taken holiday themselves maybe?

Line north of Crediton eventually (after about SEVEN hours of closure) reopened with the
1714 Exeter Ctl to Barnstaple and 1832 return.
Seems quite extraordinary that no road replacement could be provided ( except for some taxis) despite still some surviving private rural coach operators in Devon, who in years past would helpfully soon scramble coaches and drivers, especially on a Sunday with no school etc work.
No doubt intending rail passengers on the north end of the line (Eggesford northwards) instead railheaded to Tiverton Parkway and south of Eggesford railheaded to Crediton, Exeter and even Okehampton.

Tarka line is currently closed due to a collison between 2B73 and a car at Umberleigh level crossing.
No RRB as no availability within 50 miles of Barnstaple or Exeter
