"Rail services between #Okehampton and #Crediton have been suspended after a train hit a deer, resulting in 500 litres of diesel being spilled on the track.

The line cannot be reopened until the Environment Agency has investigated the level of pollution."

Quite apart from the cost and carbon impact of diesel this is yet another reason why we need to fully electrify our train network yesterday.

#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!

I shall be teaching #CoilBasketry at #Crediton EcoCrafternoon this Saturday (29th November), which I'm actually rather annoyed about because it means I can't attend the other workshops myself which look amazing. Bike maintenance! Drop spindle! there's also a craft material exchange. Come along and do all the cool stuff I can't.
