On this date, in 1855, the railway first reached Bideford (image of first train approaching original Cross Parks station). Only 110 years later, scheduled passenger services were withdrawn. Their return is being championed now by the Northern Devon Railway Development Alliance.

On this date, a decade ago, the link in central Hackney between orbital and radial routes was restored for passenger use. The previous link had been demolished not long after the orbital route (Broad Street-Poplar, via Dalston Junction and Victoria Park) had closed in May 1944.

Welcome news and although "smaller accessibility projects" were included #list-of-road-and-rail-investment-schemes" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gov.uk/government/new… they were repeated from May: gov.uk/government/pub… with five of the 50 in the government's South West region: Bodmin Parkway, Castle Cary, Dorchester South, Stroud, Yeovil Junction.
Steve Race MP 💙💛@steveracemp

Today I welcomed the Government’s announcement that the new station at Cullompton will go ahead - it’s fully funded & will benefit #Exeter too. Smaller accessibility projects aren’t included in this set of announcements, but I took the opportunity to raise #StThomas station too!

"Continue to address the over-emphasis on benefit-cost ratios (BCRs) in government appraisal, including by banning the use of arbitrary BCR thresholds as a simple means of determining if something should be funded." Says @hmtreasury 10-year Infrastructure Strategy (para. 1.13).

On this date, in 1872, Bideford saw its 2nd station opening (the 1st in 1855). There can soon be a third, on this site, with support from the community, their elected representatives at all levels, and their officials, and the rail industry. See railfuture.org.uk/Bideford-and-B… and diary.

East Sussex County Council just announced public consultations on draft Rail and Freight Strategies 2025-50: eastsussex.gov.uk/roads-transpor… Until Monday 30 June. Our approach? First, 'answer the exam questions'! See the previews of the two consultations' questions - some are 'open'.

On this date, now 15 years back. Viaduct of dreams: re-build it for those who are already there, and they will come - in droves. In 2023-24, Dalston Junction station was ranked 86th-busiest in Britain! In 2023-24, Shoreditch High Street station was the 55th-busiest in Britain!

On this day, in 2010, two 'first trains' ran south from Dalston Junction, after closure in June 1986 - #RestoringYourRailway 20th-century style! Read the story of two decades in the quarter-century+ which it took from 1980s vision to late-2012 completion: railfuture.org.uk/display2045

A transport project funded not, as might have been expected, by DfT but by the former DLUHC (now MHCLG). Devon does delivery. Mid-Cornwall Metro likewise DLUHC/MHCLG-funded, both projects demonstrating integration of transport across government, not just across modes.
