New Railway Company for Somerset and Wilts Post by: inspector_blakey on November 20, 2009, 18:41:04 I knew nothing about them either, but coincidentally there's a post about them on the Railway Eye blog this morning (I wonder if The Fact Compiler is reading the posts on this august forum...?).

This isnt the only 1 the planned passenger service between Exeter & Okehampton has also gone quiete This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
