In other news, 'Okehampton Interchange' (a parkway-type one out of town to the east) opens on Friday to serve that part of Devon without having to crawl into central Okey, and for the new builds going on in that general direction. As is typical, a Facebook post about it gets all the grumps about all the other lines/stations that haven't been built, the nimbys who are against any new housing, and any other general grumble about 2026.

I am very unhappy that I still cannot get a train to Princetown.

I just looked at the route the line took. Talk about convoluted!

And it was still too steep. The route makes more sense when you are there and you can see the paucity of other options.

I can see the contours.
The line from Axminster to Lyme Regis was similarly convoluted, even including a substantial viaduct. The train could only stop at Combpyne on the return journey because of the gradient.

Ha, I almost did that too. I think it might be quicker to cycle. Or even to row there.
