Exeter - Okehampton

 £2 Million to run trains on Sundays and other days.

£8 Million to make it a fully functioning Branch Line. Ouch !

Report in Plymouth Herald (sorry cant download link) report price for reopening now £60 Million.

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.
