  • Rail Improvements Impact Journeys on the Tarka Line
    Rail improvements impact journeys on the Tarka Line April 12, 2021 The railway line between Barnstaple and Crediton is closed for nine days for track improvement and platform extension work. From Saturday 10 to Sunday 18 April buses will replace trains between Barnstaple and Crediton. Buses will be timed to connect with trains which will continue to run between Crediton and Exeter. A separate shuttle bus will serve Yeoford, connecting with trains at Crediton. As part of these rail improvements, Network Rail will be working day and night on a number of important upgrades. At Lapford and Kings Nympton stations engineers will be working to renew the ballast that supports the track, whilst at Eggesford station platforms 1 and 2 will be extended and new lighting, drainage and fencing will be installed. There will also be a range of work to a number of bridges on the Tarka Line. At Penstone repairs are being made to the under bridge including replacing the existing wrought–iron deck with a new standard steel deck; near Coleford the track and bridge at Battesford is being removed and then infilled; and at Yeoford bridge engineers will remove the track, carrying out steelwork repairs, grit blasting, painting and waterproofing the bridge. GWR Station Manager for the branch line, Melanie Harvey, thanked passengers in advance for their patience and reminded them of the changes ahead which these improvement works are helping to bring. Melanie said: “This work is important to ensure that we can continue to provide services people can rely on at this time, and we thank customers for their patience in advance.

  • Press Release Embargoed Until 0001 Monday 20 July 2020 a New Rail Upgrade Plan for the South West Has Today Been Submitted to Mi
    Press release Embargoed until 0001 Monday 20 July 2020 A new rail upgrade plan for the South West has today been submitted to ministers, local authorities and the Great South West project as a contribution to their campaign for recognition and funding – to balance what Government is planning for the North and Midlands. For the first time, this package of measures has been costed using the new industry standard, giving new confidence for funders and promoters. The list includes redoubling Exeter-Salisbury and reopening Exeter-Okehampton-Plymouth to provide a second resilient route to the SW and avoid the often weeks of closure due to sea or river flooding. Equally important, these routes and others, including the Tarka line to Barnstable, Bodmin Parkway- Bodmin-Wadebridge-Padstow, Lostwithiel-Fowey and Newquay-St. Austell ‘cutoff’ build on the success of the new half-hour services on the Cornish Main Line and Truro-Falmouth which, along with other lines, has shown dramatic increases in patronage, by students, commuters and holidaymakers, thus reducing car traffic on the roads. This package aims to enable this growth to be replicated across the region and improve access to jobs and help the move towards more zero carbon transport. This is more than ever necessary for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, where the regional productivity is reported to be 70% less than in the South East1. These upgrades can be implemented in stages using local and regional contractors to design, obtain permissions and construct, or even operate some smaller lines. The total estimated cost of these projects is under £1.2bn, which is just 1% of the equivalent cost of HS2.

  • FOSBR Newsletter Number 85 April 2014
    FOSBR Newsletter Number 85 April 2014 17 May 2013 Stapleton Road station – on the new footbridge FOSBR invited MPs, the Mayor of Bristol, local councillors, trade unionists, transport campaigners and passengers to show local support for funding four-tracking and local electrification – it worked! 1 Local Rail 2008–14: What we've achieved so far... (Rob Dixon) We were thinking the other day about what we have achieved in the last few years. Although we haven't seen as many changes as we'd like, there has been definite movement in favour of rail – just look at the recent letter and opinion pages of the Bristol Post. What we've achieved through people power so far: • We persuaded Bristol City Council to pay the train operator £420,000 p.a. to provide an additional train and train crew on weekdays to Avonmouth/Severn Beach and an hourly Sunday service. In Sept 2011 the subsidy was renegotiated by BCC to £200,000, due to the increase in passengers. In Sept 2012 a long- existing gap in the evening service was filled with one extra round trip of the train, leaving Temple Meads at 21.37. This was achieved through sustained campaigning from FOSBR and allies and was negotiated by Bristol City Council at no extra subsidy cost. • This more reliable 40-minute service, which started in May 2008, reached one million passenger trips in 2013. Bristol City Council funding ended in 2014 as DfT took over the enhanced service into the franchise. FOSBR would like the council to reinvest the money saved to kickstart a new improvement – such as extra trains stopping at Bedminster and Parson Street or filling the gaps in the Severn Beach line evening service.
