Thank you, Ed, for another cracking vid. Always worth the wait. 😊

So much information and so many old maps to dig out when rewatching. Very interesting. Stayed in the hostel for a tiring long May Bank Holiday weekend about 2002 with my 2 children attending a national training session for Karate. Obviously took time out to enjoy the museum - and a very long time before the service was reestablished. 😊

All our yesterdays...taking us on a scenic trip to long-gone railway lines and their often scenic environments. Thanks for this.

Thanks for posting that - I stayed in Okehampton two summers ago while cycling from Land's End to Taunton, and cycled on the old railway lines a lot. The re-opened line was useful for a day off cycling as I used a Devon Ranger ticket to spend a day on the trains, visiting Torquay, Exeter and Exmouth.

Scrapping all these rail project reopenings is short sighted, but Rachel has said there's a black hole to fill. Now they've caved into the junior doctors and rail union, that black hole is going to be even bigger. We aren't good at long term or major infrastructure projects in this country, The funds wasted on HS1.5, Old Oak common to Curzon street could have achieved so much more allocated elsewhere. HS to almost Birmingham has been a nice little money spinner for many companies. Makes the likes of George Hudson and Yerkes seem like saints .😂

Tthe line up to Tavisttock must be reopened. Then there is only a small gap with a problematic viaduct to sortout.

Via Bere Alston? That's a pretty walking route to Lumburn viaduct, and a nice train journey from Gunnislake, but I've never seen more than a minibus-full of people on the train. I wonder if it would be used.

If you’re going to use the train from Exeter to Okehampton then bus to town centre be warned that it works ok on the outwards journey. But on the return the bus arrives at the station 5 minutes after the train leave for Exeter. This leaves you an hour to wait for the next train. We did not bother with the train but took the bus from Exeter St David station to Okehampton high street in 15 minutes longer than the train journey. So much easier and cheaper too.

Very bucolic and informative but it ends in an unsatisfactory manner as if you are using a bot voice, I hope my assumption is incorrect.
