AG drives to Exeter! Terminaljunkie noted abouth the "beer engine" pub in the village which brews it's own beer and the train times are actually quite good if you want to go there to have a few beers with the last train into Exeter at around 2300 I believe!

Is this not the pub that brewed 'Wessex Wobbler'??

I'd just like to say that i work trains on the Barnstaple branch every day, and i have never dropped or picked up AG at Newton St Cyres

The cynics amongst us would be a little surprised if you remembered picking up or setting down anyone at Newton St Cyres Cheesy

If anyone wonders whether things were better under British Rail, have a little peek at the Winter 1980 timetable: http://ndrailusers.wikispaces.com/TT1980
