Devon Metro: The County's Railways Since 2011

This book examines the development of the Devon Metro, the rapid-transit-style rail network announced by Devon County Council in 2011, and how it might evolve in the future. ''An enjoyable and informative read.'' ''Andrew Barlett''s book about Devon County Council''s plans for a rapid-transit style network - as given away in the book''s title - is fascinating.'' In 2011, Devon County Council outlined plans for a rapid-transit-style rail network, the Devon Metro, to be achieved through improvements to services and facilities, including the opening of new stations. As well as the Great Western Railway main line, the five other active branches centred on Exeter would be incorporated into the scheme. At the western end of the county, Plymouth councillors have for some time also been looking at a tram-style Metro for the city, along with a new station for Plympton and the reinstatement of the line to Tavistock and Okehampton.With vibrant images and informative text, this book explores how the Metro plans have developed line by line since 2011 and what might realistically be achieved in the next decade.
