wondering
You need to search all the village catchment populations (like you have Kingskerswell) to compare on the Darmoor line...from .Newton St Cyres, inc Crediton, Yeoford etc all the way to include Plymouth...if you do it could well exceed 225,000. I dont know. Be interesting. IF it does exceed 225,000 I think it maybe ...then thats why Network Rail chooses that way.
Think Network Rail have got in their head its already been agreed to reopen up to Tavistock and DCC back it....so whilst they are there will build to Okehamption. Goodness knows how long it takes them to do it! You knoiw I cant see Network Rail keep on paying out for damage at Dawlish if it happens agaiin ..maybe if the town want a railway.. somehow it has to be paid for ..could Dawlish Town ...
Yes has to be two and yes Dawlish Parkway. ..if you remember David Cameron said the west country needs a faster service. Maybe they will reopen Tavistock - Okehampton which will be good for that area, but that cant possibly be a 'fast route' to Plymouth 1hr 20 from Exeter at least...also if its on its own if Dawlish line has problems again, way too far round via Plymouth for anyone wanting to go ...
Yes heard this was stopped because of the war. They should start on this and there would then be a reliable direct route to Torbay and Plymouth.
Exactly. One train only on the track with a 25 minute journey time from Exeter Central would allow for an hourly service all day. It was soooo much easier in the old days.
On BBC 1pm news. Electrification of lines in Berkshire means trains cannot run as its not safe.. A normal train could run along the track. An electric line along the sea sounds a bit risky!
Under mine there is no option..nothing there, all the othere have the agree etc. Posts within the last two or three days they can be removed ..here anyway.
I can delete recent ones and have, but older ones there is no option. Stephen...for example go to the NO TRAINS post and see if you can yours. No option here, but can still agree to posts.
Hope this link is useful ,,,showing current 'South West Trains' departures to London Waterloo and others. http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/ldbboard/dep/EXD
Mc ..thats a real vision...had not thought of that. It would look really open and welcoming and no more moans about the old rusty viaduct. Had now been 50 years ago when people did not have cars as much it would be different. Only a limited number now go on holiday by rail...most go abroad. As you say people seek out Dartmoor etc so why not Dawlish. ,
