Campaigners unveil detailed plans for Devon Northern Route

摘要

CAMPAIGNERS hoping to reopen the former London & South Western Railway route between Exeter and Plymouth have published detailed plans for the scheme. Tavistock Okehampton Reopening Scheme (TORS) believes that a 59-minute non-stop journey time could be possible between the two cities, providing a viable alternative to the current route via Dawlish. The plan requires rebuilding 21 miles of closed railway between Meldon Quarry and Bere Alston, plus the upgrading of the Exeter-Okehampton-Meldon and Bere Alston to Plymouth sections to modern standards, with double track throughout.
