The best solution to South-West Peninsula rail resilience, after due deliberation!
Hear, hear. And, I'm on record with what I think is the best solution. I am but a lay person though. Should it be decided that re-opening Okehampton-Tavistock is the best solution, then so be it. |

It's good to see someone spell "hear hear" correctly.

That's all right, then. I do also agree with your stated ambition for a Dawlish Avoiding Line, Now!, my large schnozzled friend. |

The Peninsular Rail Group ( www.prg.2days.WS, or 01822 860148) who are co-ordinating and spearheading the campaign for re-opening Okehampton/Tavistock/Bere Alston not only as an alternative route for Plymouth & Cornwall rail traffic but also to serve West & North West Devon and North Cornwall, have arranged (principally for those in the catchment area this re-instated line would serve) a Business Breakfast meeting on Friday 16 May from 0730 to 0900 in the Bedford Hotel in Tavistock at which Geoffrey Cox MP▸ for West Devon will attend. Bacon Rolls and tea/coffee will be available with donations appreciated. |

I have been altered alerted to Planning applicationTavistock 0425/17/FUL in the following away way: The above planning application is to build a housing estate on the LSWR▸ trackbed near Callington Road in Tavistock. This would be a big set back for the reinstatement of the line if it gets approval.
Closing date is 11 March 2017 (5 days). Can anyone with local knowledge confirm that this indeed is a plan to build on the trackbed to the extent that rail re-opening would be compromised? Links / details would be appreciated as a follow up - I have very limited access today. Administrator note: I have corrected (yet another) couple of grahame's classic typos. CfN.  |

In which case, you need to check the county's LTP▸ to see what it says about the trackbed & whether it is meant to be protected. If it is, there's a valid complaint, if they haven't, it'd be harder to win. |

This definitely would block the track bed in a cutting. There is no cheap way round it so if built in 15 or 20 years time then the houses would have to be demolished. It is Devon County and West Devon that support a Northern Route. In fact West Devon have signed up to a Joint Local Plan very recently supporting a Northern Route As technical advisor to the Peninsula Rail Group, I have submitted an objection and encourage others to do so  |
