Title: Written Question M - GWR Services to Pinhoe and Axminster Post by: grahame on July 25, 2023, 12:50:15 Meet the Managing Director, 24/7/2023 - extra questions to Mark Hopwood
Graham has sent me the questions that we didnt have time to do and my comments are: "Plans have been in place for some time, funding has been approved by the DfT» and paths added to the timetable for the GWR Barnstaple to Exeter Central services to be extended out to Pinhoe station. Why has this not been implemented yet?" As a supplementary question to the above.... "The once daily Barnstaple to Axminster service in the evening that was introduced to replaced the two SWR» evening local services is caped at Exeter St Davids more often than it runs throughout. Why is this?" Your second point answers the first to some extent - with the industrial action going on we have not been able to comlete driver training. Plus, Turbo trains are not route cleared. Both need addressing before more services can run but we are working on this and support the ambition.
