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
https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/exciting-plans-relink-bideford-tarka-8154993
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

#Devon #Cornwall #UKRail #ClosedRailways #Beeching
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 #Thatcher would have closed them.
A few have been reopened or are footpaths or #cycle 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.
