Argyle were forced to play their sixth goalkeeper of the season - Will Mannion making his debut after joining on emergency loan form Hull City.

With all three senior goalkeepers injured, on loan Remi Matthews went back to his parent club after injuring his leg against Portsmouth, forcing the Pilgrims to bring in the 19-year-old.

The two sides are both back in knockout action this weekend in the second round of the FA Cup - Argyle travel to Bradford City while Exeter make the trip to Forest Green Rovers.

A Cornish company has launched what it calls a "pioneering" exercise regime on the internet, which you can do sitting in a chair.

iCare-iMove from Falmouth say they have already had interest from care agencies all over the country and even from the USA.

A spokesman said the exercises help to build up muscles which improve balance and prevent falls and can be done by people of all ages.

Great Western, the rail franchise that runs the majority of services in Devon and Cornwall, could be split up under new government proposals.

I have never met anyone in the rail industry - either pro or anti-privatisation - who thinks it was a good idea to split up who runs the trains and who runs the track and signals. But that is what we have got.

Since the 1990s, there have been plenty of stories about Network Rail teams arguing with train company teams about who should fix a problem and who should pay - causing plenty of unnecessary delays.

Now, the government has said it will change things to create joint teams - with one boss, public and private working together, to solve problems on the line.

The biggest experiment will be on the East Coast mainline, where Virgin-Stagecoach is struggling to make money and has become frustrated with the physical state of the line.

A new public-private partnership is being set up to run the train and tracks together.

But we have no idea yet how it will work, who will pay for things, or when passengers might feel the benefit.

A woman has been left homeless after her £30,000 static caravan in Devon was stolen, police say.

Officers said thieves entered a locked yard in Willand, near Cullompton, and loaded the 40ft-long caravan "on to a flat trailer and removed it from the yard".

It's believed to have been taken between 18:00 on Wednesday 22 November and 06:00 on 23 November from The Yard on Willand Road.

Polcie said: "The victim, a local woman, was not present at the time of the offence and is now without a home. The serial number is SA11.049221E."

PC Marie Gorfin, of Devon and Cornwall Police, added: "The home would have to had to been taken by a specific low loader trailer that is capable of taking a caravan of this size and by someone that knew what they were doing.

"This is a very high-value and emotive crime as victim is now homeless and clearly distraught."

The head ranger at Northam Burrows Country Park in North Devon has said he is looking for volunteers to pitch in and get the beauty spot ready for winter.

Park rangers are getting stuck into their winter and autumn maintenance programme, and say one of the most important jobs is the controlling of "invasive scrub" to protect the park's rare plants and wildlife.

They are calling for volunteers to help rake up and burn the scrub which the rangers have cuts down.

Tools, tea and coffee are to be provided.

The event runs from 10:00-16:00 today at the park.

Food banks in Devon and Cornwall have warned this could be their busiest Christmas on record after new figures suggested more people needed emergency food parcels last December than any other time of the year.

New figures from The Trussell Trust showed that, nationally, there was a 47% increase in the number of emergency food parcels handed out last December.

In response, Devon and Cornwall Food Action has extended its opening hours for food collections.

The group said: "We often see an increase in demand during the winter months, as many of those who need our help face additional demands on their limited budgets for warmth and winter clothing.

"This year, we are also facing worries about the roll-out of Universal Credit and the impact this will have on benefits."

Railway lines closed in the 1960s could be reopened if they boost the economy, the government has said.

The plan forms part of a wider rail strategy under which the government will consider splitting up two of the biggest train operators.

The move would affect Great Western, which operates routes in the South West, and GTR, which comprises Southern, Thameslink and Great Northern.

The government also plans to devolve running the track and train services to local companies.

A controversial decision by Cornwall Council to approve the expansion of a quarry on the border between Devon and Cornwall now rests in the hands of the government.

The Department for Transport will now need to decide whether an un-named road which borders Greystone Quarry can be closed.

This would allow the national quarry firm Aggregate Industries to work in the Tamar Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, external.

Cornwall Council has approved the scheme despite objections from Devon County Council, the Woodland Trust and residents.
