No, we love positive posts. The trouble is there isn’t much to be positive about at the moment. This is good news.
I know the board doesn't seem to like positive posts much.. .but if you have not heard, from the December timetable the local service from Paignton to Exmouth thats callis at Dawlish will be increased to every 30 minutes and hourly Sundays.
