    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.

    Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2 WWW.SOMERSET.GOV.UK WELCOME TO THE 2ND SOMERSET RIGHTS OF WAY IMPROVEMENT PLAN Public Rights of Way are more than a valuable recreational resource - they are also an important asset in terms of the rural economy, tourism, sustainable transport, social inclusion and health and well being. The public rights of way network is key to enabling residents and visitors alike to access services and enjoy the beauty of Somerset’s diverse natural and built environment. Over the next few years, the focus is going to be chiefly on performing our statutory duties. However, where resources allow we will strive to implement the key priority areas of this 2nd Improvement Plan and make Somerset a place and a destination for enjoyable walking, riding and cycling.
