Great new for this wonderful little railway.

Nothing to do with Beeching for a change.

Going off at a tangent ...

How many towns and villages have a 'Station Road' but no station these days?!

Exciting plans to relink Bideford Tarka Line railway with rest of Devon

devonlive.com/news/devon-news/

Wonderful if this goes ahead. So many areas of Devon & Cornwall completely cut off since their railways closed in the 1960s.

Devon and Cornwall's lost and abandoned railways

devonlive.com/news/history/dev

So many railways and stations closed nationally, cutting off their respective communities. A very sad period.

If left, you can bet you bottom Dollar that would have closed them.

A few have been reopened or are footpaths or routes, but it's not the same.

Given problems with so many cars on the roads today, a good number should never have been closed.
