Just visited and signed a few sepecific railway related ones, including Re-dualling of Salisbury to Exeter.
Have also produced one about Okehampton to Tavistock (assuming that Bere Alston-Tavistock reopened as in Killbride plans).
Assuming the speed could be raised to 60mph or higher, and I believe this is do able. A passing loop at Bere Alston to facilitate the Gunnislake service, loops positioned at Okehampton, needing 1 point I believe creating an additional crossing place and possible Okehampton to Exeter service. Moving the Junction from Crediton back to Coleford Junction to create a 3 mile long dynamic loop. A train could leave Exeter at xx50 and Plymouth at xx20. They would pass at Bere Alston and at Yeoford and still enable Barnstaple and Gunnislake services to operate. This would mean a long single line section between Bere Alston and Okehampton but would enable some XC and SWT services to go via this route in addition to stopping services.
I know it is unlikely thatt I will get 100,000 signatures needed for a debate, but I have posted a petition I would like people to sign.

Hope you can add your autographs so to speak!
