The plan includes turning this into a 125 mph half-hourly Pendolino (one to Penzance in four hours, the other to Plymouth). Not to mention the Newbury suburban service, my proposed Reading-Exeter stoppers and all the reopenings along there. Now I just need to persuade my apple tree to start growing money.

Re wantage, apparently the plan is to consider reopening it sometime around 2015, or whenever Didcot power station is due to close. Supposedly its because the freight traffic on the freight lines will greatly reduce.
