Title: DFT - Where is the South Devon Railway Post by: devonexpress on August 29, 2018, 12:10:36 Front the GWR franchise consultation
"During the consultation events, some stakeholders suggested that there could be more integration and marketing of through bus/rail links to tourist attractions not served by rail, e.g. Blenheim Palace or Stonehenge, as many tourists staying in London may use organised coach trips to visit these attractions. A small number of respondents raised the possibility of using national rail services to operate over existing heritage railways to improve links to places not served by national rail, e.g. to Minehead via the West Somerset Railway or to Goodrington via the South Devon Railway." Since when did the Buckfastleigh to Totnes line serve Goodrington in Paignton? :D Title: Re: DFT - Where is the South Devon Railway Post by: onthecushions on August 30, 2018, 10:54:54 There was a SDR opened in 1846, taken over by GWR in c1876. Perhaps the DfT library needs a new atlas. OTC This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
