George Osborne floats the idea of a mini franchise for Devon & Cornwall. Just talk from a politician in an election year or a serious suggestion?

The Prime Minister and Chancellor are to make visits across Cornwall, Devon and Somerset today to unveil a long-term economic plan for the South West.
The plan is designed to help offset the dominance of London and show the region has more to offer than stunning coast and beaches.
They say a new dedicated rail franchise for Devon and Cornwall to deliver better local services and a second inland mainline in Devon will be considered.
