    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.

    Front cover image photographed and produced by Mo Bowman From the Editor I write this in anticipation of our forthcoming Christmas party – although there is a small amount of trepidation as I understand that someone is going to be murdered! It is sure to be a great evening and I hope to have a report and images (hopefully not too ghoulish) in the next issue. In looking forward to a new year and a new decade I make no apologies for re- printing a previous plea for your help and support. We know that there are many members out there with experience, skills and talent which could be very useful to our organisation. Our aims and objectives are very relevant at the moment and membership is growing. However, as with all organisations and societies, we do need people to become more than ‘passive’ members. At the start of this new year please give some thought as to how you could help move the OVA forward. Happy New Year to you all. Jacqui Baldwin Volunteers needed Everything we do – and we do a lot of things - has to be done by volunteers. Is there any way in which you could help? Whatever your area of interest or expertise we would be glad of your input whether on a regular basis or just a few hours – distributing newsletters, getting involved with the Natural Environment team, leading a walk, becoming a village rep, organising events, joining the Executive committee, publicity, history, planning – even writing an article for this newsletter! Fresh ideas and fresh faces are always welcome.

    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.
