    Additional station near Laira, PLymouth (only an idea)

    Tavistock to Bere Alston possible reopening: what infrastructure could be required and what service provision might operate?

    A yes forgot about Bere ferres, very charming as well, love the quirky things like the still intact siding. It's obviously been kept well by people who care about the station.
