I have been impressed with the loads i've seen so far for St. James--Okehampton on Sundays.
I agree, I've worked the first Okehampton service on a couple of sundays this summer, and taken ^300-^400 each time. Thats not bad considering there are no facilities at OKE station at the moment. |

basically a realy alternative to the car, to be fair while the guards statement about the number of passengers on sunday was impressive it is not unusual for a one off or once a week (5 runs on a sunday in this case) to attract attension however with the councls backing this clearly shows that this could be a tourism route... also if the dartmoor railway was reistablished there were 20000 vistitors last year, increacing the capacity as far to crediton would in its self generate revinue,okehampton is expanding and needs better public transport and im sorry but in some areas blocking the road with a bus does not work.
in the long term would extending to tavi be viable well to be honest i havnt researched that far and just getting sevices running again would be in its self a big job, so for now i think the target should be okehampton

Last I heard (some time ago) was that there were two potential buyers waiting in the wings, undergoing due diligence checks. Remember that Dartmoor Railway is only the operating company, the Quarry company own the railway line to Coleford Jn and Devon County Council I think own Okehampton station. Not sure who paid for the stations at Meldon Quarry and Sampford Courtenay to be honest. |

it just says link below?
Yes, I didn't understand that either ... I had to delete a lot of other posts during last night, including links to inappropriate sites and personal attacks on other members, but let this one stay (unaltered) as I saw nothing offensive in it. I guess a link was missing, and I can only imagine what it would have contained! |

Just noticed this .... I believe it was aimed to be a pisstake as opposed to posting a dodgy link. I don't know what the intent on this particular thread was, Tom (do you?). I do know that I spent a fair time on Monday morning deleting posts that including personal attacks and also links to sites selling sexual services, but I tried to be as low key as practical in my moderation and l left about a third of the posts to give people something of an idea of what had been sprayed at us. Some of those remaining posts could be classified using the term you chose. In hindsight, leaving some posts up may not have been an ideal decision. It has clearly lead you, and perhaps others, to incorrectly assume that the spray attack was of a far less serious nature than actually happened. Let's get back on topic should we - Okehampton. I've been away for the last week and have somewhat lost track of the latest twist. Can someone follow up to fill us in please? |

I saw what was posted before you deleted it all, Graham. I'm simply taking a neutral view on it. There was no intention for the post ... just as a generally annoying thing to wind up the moderators! You see, I know stuff. |

You see, I know stuff. I'm not sure how you can be so certain you saw all of the posts, Tom, and how you can be fully aware of the intention of each of them. Perhaps you had better explain further. |

You have a PM (that you haven't replied to). |
