I've found the misssing s and corrected the original - if you click on the link it should be right now (and for all other stations too)

Thinking that an Okehampton Parkway station should be at Sourton, even if it added a '1' to left hand end of the costings. It'd be a bit mean to suggest meeting half the costs by repurposing the money allocated for the first ever RoRo ferry to, er, Fairisle.

Hopefully they'll build the platforms long enough for some nice 80x's that can run directly to London, or perhaps the good folks at GCHQ Bude might like to chip in a few quid to enable their staff to travel direct via CrossCountry to Cheltenham ;-)
