    Tavistock just five and a half miles away. All the trackbed is owned by Devon County Council and all clear. Two small bridges need reinstating and a simple terminus a la Gunnislake needs building. Come on!!

    Thanks for this video of Calstock.. and the Tamar Valley Line. I lived in Plymouth from 1974 until 1995 and visited Calstock on a number of occasions, by car and by train. I also took the Bus from Calstock to Tavi, with Student friends from Plymouth Polytechnic, as it was back then. Additionally, I danced at Calstock on a number of occasions with Plymouth Morris Men and Plymouth Maids Cloggies, so lots of happy and pleasant memories of my years in the West Country. I enjoyed the first episode and am looking forward to the next two episodes. Keep up the good work. Russ. Hampshire.

    Thank you for a very informative and enjoyable video. I filmed at Saltash during my holiday at St Germans back in June. Having lived in Plymouth and SE Cornwall for over 30 years I am very familiar with Saltash and both the road and rail crossings. The station is looking much improved since i was last in the area back in the late 1990’s.

    At least you can get a train to Liskeard . Pocklington area we're I am you have to rely on buses and there are more times when the a1079 is gridlocked with vehicles. There used to be a perfectly good rail line between York & hull until that psycho Beeching fkd it all up.

      @tadpole1969uk 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yup. I live about 8 miles away and we lost our service thanks to Beeching. Nobody predicted that cars would become so prevalent. Bus companies will only run a decently frequent service if it makes them a decent profit.
