  1. Devon's Tarka rail line breaks passenger records

    Looks like it's time money was spent and the network reopened.

    They did it at #Okehampton and it worked. Investment is worth it. Now for numerous other Devonian lines & stations.

    We urgently need regular six car trains at least, 7 days week.

    If you're forced to stand on any train journey, the journey should be completely free of charge. Dream on.

  6. Most debate about rail services is focussed on urban and long distance routes, but rail also has a role in rural transport networks.

    Two years ago the #Exeter - #Okehampton line (#Devon, UK) reopened, and now provides an hourly 7-day service. Over half a million journeys have been made. Okehampton has become a hub for bus-rail connections and kiss-and-ride, extending the benefits of the rail service over a wide area of north Devon and Cornwall.

    The best of luck to all.

    Always a wonderful display of determination from teenagers.

    At least the weather looks set fair this year. Could well be some mist or fog.

  17. As has become a sort of tradition for this time of year, today we went on a longer #bike ride. Our journey took us on a trip from home to #Okehampton and then along the #NCN27 to #Tavistock and then on to #Plymouth. Part of that #CycleRoute is called #DrakesTrail and has many interesting #bridges on it. The one pictured (with me on it) here is called #GemBridge and is a #steel #arch which was only opened in #2012.

  18. This is a #photograph I submitted to #Wikipedia of #MeldonViaduct in #Devon, #England. It is a historic #structure from the #Victorian era, made of #iron (not steel) and is #ListedBuilding, on the outskirts of #Dartmoor. It was historically a #Railway #Bridge and was used to carry #Quarry material from #Meldon Quary to nearby #Okehampton. Nowadays it is part of the #GraniteWay
