    DEVON AND CORNWALL Newsletter November 2017 Cover photograph THIS ISSUE The 14:20 Waterloo to Exeter calls at Whimple on Saturday Railfuture’s Salisbury to Exeter Report Discussion 22nd July 2017. Okehampton Parkway: background & discussion This should be the location of A Look at the Bude Branch a new passing loop. To accommodate the new track Next Meetings the widened platform would Planned Footpath at Tiverton Parkway be narrowed back to its original width, approximately So Near Yet so Far where the light and CCTV Disruptions poles are shown. Picture Gallery Promoting Britain's Railway for Passengers and Freight CHAIRMAN'S INTRODUCTION I wrote about the need for more passing places between Exeter and Yeovil Junction in our last newsletter of December 2016. Nothing changes! We still don’t have them and incidents continue to happen. How useful they would have been for diverting all the delayed trains, rather than just a few, following the recent fatality on the railway north of Taunton on 7th November. Railfuture will continue to press for improvements to the Waterloo line to allow more trains to run. Similarly we will continue to press for the complete reopening of the Exeter to Plymouth via Okehampton line. It is needed every time the sea disrupts train services through Dawlish, when the line is closed for planned engineering work and to increase line capacity west of Exeter. We cannot campaign for more trains to Dawlish and Teignmouth without recognising that this uses up line capacity, that could otherwise be used for developing more long distance services and freight.

This proportion is unequalled since 1965, when the Beeching axe was falling most heavily. In fact we travel twice the distance by rail is we did fifty years ago even though our rail network is far smaller. But as train travel grows in importance, so places that are cut off from the rail network face growing disadvantages.
