November start for Dartmoor line services
Regular, all-year-round services to restart for first time since 1972.
By Chris Milner REGULAR timetabled services between Okehampton and Exeter are to commence on November 20. The restoration of all-year-round services is the first ‘reopening’ under the Government’s Restoring Your Railway programme and will cost more than £40m.
Trains will initially run every two hours between Exeter and Okehampton, but from the May 2022 timetable the frequency will increase to hourly. All trains will call at Crediton and selected trains will call at Newton St Cyres on request.
