Click on this link for info on the Devon Home Choice scheme http://www.devonhomechoice.com/Devon_Home_Choice/CFEFaq.jsp?selectedMenu=Faq I'm genuinely interested to know how the Home Choice scheme is allegedly responsible for Dawlish having residents who have substance addiction problems. Can someone tell me please.

and more profits for Cross Country trains?
Didn't Beeching do some kind of similar statistical analysis back in the 60s in order to justify closing down loads of branch lines and/or stations?
According to my Riviera Line timetable, Cross Country trains presently stop at Dawlish at the following times: Travelling towards Exeter Mon-Fri: 0726; 1031; 1433; Sat: 0731; 1009; 1035; 1309; 1424; 1710; Sun: 1120; Travelling towards Plymouth Mon-Fri: 1237; 1824 Sat: 1059; 1239; 1504; 1636; Sun: 1725; 2142
So the answer is............use trains that don't have holes in the top of them!
I remember SW Trains when there was a through service to Hove from here.
Just to suggest that all the cut backs in what the police do (or don't do), as with delays in ambulances turning up, and much of the deterioration in other public service delivery (NHS?) is due to cut backs in funding which are caused by central government policies. So blame central government not local government or the NHS or the fire and rescue service etc etc
