The Okehampton Line closed in 1970 under a flood on protest and has lain dormant for almost 30 years. The line passed over the spectacular heights of Dartmoor and down the banks of the imposing River Tamar and offered travelers an alternative route to Plymouth. Passing through some of Devons major towns, Okehampton and Tavistock, locals have long lamented the passing of their links with the capital when coaches for London were an everyday occurrence. The line has seen a revival in recent years in the shape of a proposed Park and Ride service to Tavistock, from Plymouth, and the purchase of Okehampton Station where it is again possible to travel over rails to the nearby Meldon Quarry. The history has been meticulously detailed by the authors and includes many interviews with former employees on the line. Packed with previously unseen photographs the book details the final chapter of Southern lines in the West of England.
