this is what i know!
Cranbrook will be operational for the Dec 2012 timetable change. single line only.
over the coming months/years Honiton loop will be extended by 1.5 mile in the county end. this will allow freight & half hourly shuttles to run on line.
they also putting goods loop back in at Exeter central! Exd-wat severces will be fast (Exd, Exc, cranbrook & Hon) and shuttles will stop all stops.
the only question is who's going to operate these extra sevices? SWT or FGW? as it's difficult for SWT to staff from Salisbury.
Gillingham is also being re-signalled the same as Axminster with by-directional running.
just some thoughts of a SWT employee!!!
cheers
