Just been reading through the the" Campain for Rural England report in Favour of Re-opening the Okehampton Route"  some points of interest which state.

The  buisiness case for re-opening the Bere Alston-Tavistock section will go to the Local Transport Board for consideration later this year.
But is not yet funded,and is expected that funding will be sought by DCC» (Devon County Council - website) through a growth Deal bid .
It could be open by 2020/1 but the design of the route and station at Tavistock will need to be able to accommodate a subsequent northwards extension.
