Marsh Barton Railway Station Exeter - Construction and opening.

[Xavi]

St Davids remains below. I chose one of the lowest so I couldn't be accused of inflating usage, unlike this business case.

St David’s is almost identical in 22/23 for entries / exits as 18/19 but interchanges are up.

The whole point of moving Cardiff-Taunton trains to Exeter is to free up platforms 2 and 3 at Taunton so trains can be reversed from a future "Devon Metro" service.

I imagine this will be one of the future uses of platform 2 at Exeter St David's every 2 hours as well reversing GWRs from Paddington. Platform 2 is ideal as everybody really wants to go to Central.

I thought platform 2 extension at Exeter St Davids had hit the buffers due to insufficient length even after the works proposed? More through trains to Exeter Central would tick a lot of boxes for better connectivity vice having to change at St David's.

Just a gentle reminder that this is an infrastructure updates thread to discuss the construction and opening of the new station

Discussion relating to actual timetabling updates belongs in the timetables section, while anything of a speculative nature belongs in Speculative Discussion, please.

Many thanks
