Excellent. Great temptation to go and modify the Beeching Close sign to "Beeching Closed It"!

I think a correction is required, at c.0:40. In November 2021 the initial service was alternate hours. It became hourly with the May 2022 timetable.

Thank you, Ed; you've done it again. 😊 I love your vids for their combination of railways and local history.

The route from Plymouth was severed in 1968. In 1970 the line to Gunnislake was singled...

Thank you for sharing that. Ashbury Station was close enough for me to walk or cycle to as a child.

Back in the 80’s the Station Yard at Upton, Oxon, was bought and 3 new homes added alongside the old station. It was renamed Beeching Close by the local council.

Thanks for another brilliant video Ed. Arouses sentimental feelings when one thinks of what has been lost. Bet it all looked so well kept in its heyday.

Oh dear, and again at c.0:45. The bus connections with Bude and Launceston didn't start until October 2022. Only Tavistock had a dedicated bus link when the Dartmoor Line opened in November 2021.

Buses went from St Davids in Exeter to Holdsworthy and Bude via Okehampton town centre. They only went up to the station when the railway came back into regular use
