The Blackmore Vale Line Community Rail Partnership, in conjunction with the Devon & Cornwall Rail Partnership has produced an excellent 'deep pocket sized' line guide for the Salisbury to Exeter line.

As well as fascinating facts about places along the route and timetables, you will find details of a 'Salisbury to Exeter Rail Trail'.  Visit various hostelries close to the line and collect stamps from your visit - and stamps mean prizes.

Available from all good ticket offices between Crewkerne and Tisbury, or download your copy here

If anyone happens to bump into RichardB on that Rail Ale Trail, please do buy him a pint from me: I'll reimburse you.  Wink

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.
