I think that WSM and Torquay would challenge the statement that they WERE popular holiday resorts!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

"Were" applies with reference to holidaymakers that travelled by the Great Western Railway, which has not been posssible since the end of the "Big Four" in 1948.

Torquay still remains the railway station to make the next connection with.

Torquay was another very popular seaside resort that saw very many of its holidaymaker visitors brought by the services of the Great Western Railway.

Hi Paul, yes I thought you meant the was to refer to the travel arrangements, but the actual statement reads as the popular holiday resort being a thing of the past!
