First Great Western spokesman Dan Panes has blamed the Government's above-inflation formula for the hike in rail fare prices.
He told Daybreak: "While rail fare payers are paying more, taxpayers are paying less towards the cost of travel."
First Great Western (FGW) has advised passengers not to travel to and from Devon and Cornwall, unless absolutely necessary.
Routes still closed included Liskeard to Looe in Cornwall and Exeter St Davids to Barnstaple in Devon.
Due to disruption across the whole network it is advised to not travel today unless absolutely necessary ^Jess
