#Devon folks living on the #TarkaLine railway connecting #Barnstaple, #Crediton and #Exeter, could you do me a favour and sign this petition for investment to future proof the infrastructure please? https://www.ianroome.uk/campaigns/future-proof-the-tarka-line Trains haven't been able to run on the line since Tuesday last week due to flood damage to tracks and bridges, because of the sort of once-in-a-generation storm that thanks to climate change now happens every winter.
Future-Proof the Tarka Line!

Looks like it's time money was spent and the network reopened.

They did it at #Okehampton and it worked. Investment is worth it. Now for numerous other Devonian lines & stations.

We urgently need regular six car trains at least, 7 days week.

If you're forced to stand on any train journey, the journey should be completely free of charge. Dream on.
