with the current US government there is no "the West". There is "the US" and "the rest".

Rather amused by the usage graph for a station that was lampooned when it first opened. The figures are distinctly Trumpian.

Given that the numbers were initially zero, I reckon they've underplayed the percentage increase.

Yeah, I don't know what starting figure they took... maybe the first year? I wish I'd saved the initial headlines ridiculing it as having single-digit passenger numbers in the first week.
Incidentally, Chapelton, on the Barnstaple line, gets about 160 passengers a year.

Whats the number for the Gunniskale line?
If its 2, I think it was just me and my wife when the fireworks were on in Plymouth.

I suspect Calstock will have quite an effect on that.

True. No one ever goes to Gunniskale. Or leaves.

Lots of retirees going on long walks in the Tamar valley?
They are everywhere and extremely chipper.

Schoolchildren and or workers going to Plymuff?

It's so infrequent as to be almost useless for such things.

And slow. Dunno how to explain the figures though.

Well if you look in the opposite direction to Plymouth it's one of the most scenic lines in the UK.
There's also the Tamara Way? Named because it sounds a bit like Tamar, but more kitsch. The only bit that is not a trudge is around here.

Yeah, might well be that. It was a splendid day out from Exeter.
