Dartmoor Railway
Description
Originally a railway ran from Exeter leaving the Barnstaple line and looping round Dartmoor through Okehampton and Tavistock back towards Gunnislake and into Plymouth. The line was retained through Okehampton as it went to the quarry where British Rail got most of their ballast from. Today the line remains for quarry trains, and with the isolation of South Devon and Cornwall still fresh in the memory from the damage done to Dawlish in 2014 it could still return to use as a passenger railway. Today the Dartmoor railway run services from Okehampton to the nearby Viaduct, but on Summer Sunday's, funded by the County Council, Great Western Railway run 4 return trips from Exeter to Oakhampton, a chance to see parts of the edge of Dartmoor that are otherwise only ever seen by quarry train drivers
