Hi, a while back I had some ideas for new stations to be built. These would be at Devizes Parkway, Frome Parkway (on the main line to be served by london trains), Somerton, Wellington and Cullompton (close to Tiverton Parkway). This would be served by a semi-fast London-Exeter service, and therefore the case for these services would be supported by these extra stations. A station at Wellington would provide good links to Taunton, as it's employment hub. Cullompton would have a similar relationship with Exeter. This opens up opportunities in Somerton for employment in Taunton, and stations to London, and also for employment in Somerton. Devizes would gain a nearby station to link it with both London and the West, with links to local settlements such as Pewsey and Westbury. Some bus services to Devizes could be extended to serve the new station. A similar idea could be applied to Frome Parkway. This would be situated next to ASDA to attract shoppers to use the station. A nearby bus stop exists where passengers could alight to connect with trains towards both London and Exeter.
Stations could almost be self-sufficient, with lighting powered by solar panels on top of lights, for example.
Just an idea. All feedback will be appreciated!
