I was pleased to welcome the Rail Minister, Huw Merriman MP, to South Devon this week for a trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway.
I spoke to the Minister about the importance of joining up transport companies to improve local services. The Steam Railway is a great example of this, not only keeping iconic steam engines in operation but also now linking up with GWR to offer a through ticket to Dartmouth. Another success story is the Tally Ho Primrose Link bus whose schedule integrates with GWR services in Totnes, making it easier to travel from Kingsbridge and Salcombe to further afield.
These services make a real difference to the way in which people travel across South Devon, so watch this space as more announcements are coming soon!
