Beeching revisited - on the slow train
03 August 2011
I've just returned from Devon, where I've been filming with an independent production company for a pilot series for the BBC Television on "The lines that survived Beeching". Soon it will be 50 years since the Evil Doctor swung his axe. Could there be a lovelier survivor than the Tarka Line from Exeter to Barnstaple, where a little train bowls along through our greeen and pleasant land in the golden sunshine of a summer's afternoon?
Have your say
