I would rather have TransWilts build with 1, now 3 cars and up to hourly, before we consider asking them to run London to Cheltenham Spa IETs as 5 + 5 each hour and split off 5 at Swindon to carry on to Southampton. I wouldn't even mention that longer term idea as it might sound like just a dream.

The aim is a regular service between Okehampton and Exeter (ideally Central).
