Re RPI’s comment about Crediton growing, which it certainly has:
One of my long gone Crediton relatives, a retired farmer, used
to say with pride,
“Crediton was a market town when Exeter was a furzy down.”
Furzy meant covered in gorse.
I hope the mid winter passenger figures don’t plummet.
Hopefully the excellent nationwide TV & press publicity may have encouraged many people to pencil in a rail trip when the weather warms.
Parkway, if built, will boost locals use of the line.
Not much parking at the town station & it is a challenging slog up hill to the railway.
Parkway would be on the same contour as the Main Street.
But will Parkway add too much time to the round trip & thwart an hourly service?
