Title: Hello From Okehampton
Post by: kevb8ll on June 26, 2017, 11:59:54
Hi thanks for letting me in. I am involved in a community forum called OkeRAIL trying to get passenger services re-introduced between Okehampton and Exeter. GWR run a summer Sunday service in partnership with Devon County Council.

Has anyone here used it? What are your thoughts on our line?

I'd love to hear from you as I am always looking for material for our FB page. (I won't advertise it until admins say it's ok).

Hello Kevin and welcolme to the forum. I generally have a run each year.  I did travel on the original services before it was discontinued way back in 1972.

Incidentally, there are more than 4 people in OkeRAIL Forum. There are 4 Directors of OkeRAIL CIC, of which I am one.

I hope that clears things up! ;)
