I've never changed ends at Torquay!
Took me a while to wonder why you put that, then I realised it's just a stop on the way to Paignton! |

From the Herald Express: trying to decide what to do before we remembered to use a mobile phone to call a taxi."
my favourite bit, how can you forget you have a mobile phone to ring a taxi with, thats what i'd of done 10 mins before arrival, so i dont have to wait around when i get there, straight into taxi from train |

Not to mention the numerous taxis that often wait outside on the station forecourt.

From the BTP▸ press release: BRITISH TRANSPORT POLICE APPEAL FOR WITNESSES AFTER ATTEMPTED ROBBERY ^ TORRE
British Transport Police (BTP) detectives investigating an alleged attempted robbery at Torre railway station in Devon are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
BTP received a call shortly after 7pm on Saturday 12 February that two teenage girls had been approached by a man who tried to grab one of the girls^ handbags at Torre railway station.
The girls, aged 16 and 17, boarded a train towards Exeter St David^s but the man alleged to have attempted to steal the bag also boarded the same train.
Officers from Devon and Cornwall Constabulary met the train when it arrived at Newton Abbot railway station and detained the man after he got off the train and ran towards the High Street.
Detective Constable Dean Jeffery, of BTP, said: ^We are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed what happened at Torre railway station ^ particularly a teenage boy who was sat in the shelter on the platform next to the girls ^ to come forward.
^The incident took place between 6.45pm and 7pm on Saturday 12 February, so I would urge anyone who was at Torre station at that time, to come forward as you may have key information which can assist our investigation.^
A 22-year-old man from Newton Abbot arrested on suspicion of attempted robbery has been bailed to attend Torquay police station on Monday 28 February.

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

How cynical of you Donkey Guard! Unfortunately true though, you don't see them on a Saturday night at Torre!

07:09 Paignton to St James' Park due 08:21
This train will be started from Newton Abbot.It will no longer call at: Paignton, Torquay and Torre.This is due to an earlier train fault. Service will be started at Newton Abbot due to 143603 failing with an NRN▸ fault Is the extra data (on the train and fault reason) a new thing, or a leak from the staff systems to the public system? Personally, I like to be as informed as possible ... not sure about the typical customer. Must look up "NRN" ! |

National Radio Network (I think!). Allows emergency communications between signaller and driver.

The train must have working NRN▸ in cabs that are to be driven from, this is for the purpose of making/receiving emergency broadcasts primarily. Also used for contacting signaler at signals with limited clearance.
