Great Western has boring bidders very dissapointed. Would have liked someone abit different! National Express better not get it. NO WAY! Arriva would be nice choice, i loved there wessex operation!

There would be uproar, if that every happend. Also it would be very bad for the city which now relies on the train network, after the short sighted council decided to close the airport, the city lacks the transport links it needs. Do you know why the proposals to electrify down this far never...

Plymouth will never be electrified! The reopening of the plymouth to tavistock line makes the odd 8 miles of track from tavistock to okehampton alot cheaper then making a new tunnel. However wou would need to double it and that wont happen.

Yes devon and cornwall is filled with apathetic NIMBY's.

Plymouth Outdated, Grey, Stuck in the 60s

I do think that restablishing rail to the North Cornwall is important. Its a Large area cut off from the network.

Oh you could be on to a winner here.

Plymouth to Portsmouth Harbour service

Something that was brought up by Cornwall Councils rail survey. Was: and Wonder how liekly these are?

I know, but its strange it was like i was looking at the same station!

All the scottish stations reopened like Bathgate,Caldercruix, Blackridge and Armadale. All look the exact same! Not individual charcter to them at all. Grey and more grey!

I agree and this is why i dont understand why they merged the Wessex and Greater Western Franchise! I was always against that, but hey ho they thought it was a good idea. I really think they should re-split the franchises. Let first concentrate on improving and creating a good main line London...

Ha yes! Also take away the London service from cornwall and we would have a revolution on our hands lol

This is a very important idea/point. I think we should all do this. Or do they really care about the Drake Line? Apart of Kilbride there is not alot of information on this reopening!

What warrants a station being operated by Network Rail? Is it the amount of passengers that use the station or is it location wise? Is it just the lagrest stations? What do they gain by managing these stations? I just find it really strange that they would take on this work. Is it becuase...

Virgin operating local services in Cornwall and Devon, that would be an interesting deleveopment if it happened. The only thing i have agaianst first is the trains and the amount of space you have in the carriage, you feel cramped and unable to move. Not nice! im 6ft and i actually cant bend...

Yes im guessing with figures like thoose they could close. But i was fearing that more larger used stations would be effected.

Could this be the start of Beeching Axe Part 2? There was a report in the local news here in the southwest that local branch lines may only stop at the final station, and omission of some of the intermediate stops on some lines. Its all a part fo the Great Western Franchise tendering. It rightly...

"Devon and Cornwall Railways" is listed as being a open-access rail company 'In Development". On further research it is owned by British American Railway Services, which own the Dartmoor Railway. Is this actually a new rail company proposing new open access services in Devon and Cornwall. Or is...

Really wish they would bring this service back! Brighton to Exeter & Plymouth is a much missed service!
