Quote from: TerminalJunkie on January 26, 2013, 07:59:16 Don't forget the new Premier Inn directly opposite St Davids, which is unhelpfully called Exeter Central... Actually, it's worse than that - it's Exeter Central St Davids!

Quote from: signalandtelegraph on January 12, 2013, 19:14:30 As a small aside, while we're talking Westward, have a look at this, the Westward TV start up in the days before 24 hour TV. Small clip of the Torbay Steam Railway (as it was then) and a virtually empty A38 at Marsh Mills (at around 2.49). Great music as well. Wow, that brings back memories! Tarr Steps (at 3:20), looks a bit different today

Quote from: bignosemac on January 10, 2013, 01:32:56 * I grew up in Taunton which was ostensibly in the HTV West ITV region. I, on the other hand, grew up in Ilfracombe which was - in theory - Westward territory, but living down by the harbour meant we only got HTV Wales; until 1974 I didn't know who Gus Honeybun was. But I do still have a 'Tinkertainment' badge somewhere, which I earned by having my birthday read out in 1970-ish.

Quote from: SandTEngineer on December 28, 2012, 11:56:10 FGW^▸ (First Great Western) website now showing: Exeter St Davids - Barnstaple Trains between Exeter St Davids and Barnstaple are suspended. Road transport is in place but because of flooding on local roads may not serve all stations. This line will remain closed for the foreseeable future. Quote from: TerminalJunkie on December 28, 2012, 12:11:31 Where does it say this? http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/disruption says "The line is expected to be closed until at least 29th December", while http://www.journeycheck.com/firstgreatwestern/ says "Disruption is expected until 09:00 01/01". Quote from: SandTEngineer on December 28, 2012, 12:51:10 Whoops too much xmas drinkies . I meant to say the National Rail website says.......... I see @NDevonCouncil have now tweeted that the Barnstaple line is "set to reopen on Saturday", based on the JourneyCheck information. FFS^▸ (for goodness' sake (a more polite definition))...

Quote from: TerminalJunkie on December 19, 2008, 17:38:59 Please note that in North Devon virtually all bus services are operating a normal Sunday Service on both Christmas Day and Boxing Day. As they did in 2009. And 2010. And 2011. And again this year.

Quote from: chris from nailsea on December 25, 2012, 00:26:22 Quote from: Four Track, Now! on December 24, 2012, 21:48:26 Strangely, I was in Pilton on Saturday, and I was definitely in Devon. It is a suburb of Barnstaple on the way to Braunton. It is indeed. My apologies to the BBC^» (British Broadcasting Corporation - home page): I should have referred to my extensive range of Ordnance Survey maps before posting. And, in case this happens in other parts of Barnstaple, we have bits called Newport and Derby as well!
