HOPES remain that a rail link will return to Tavistock, despite the Government’s plan not to reopen mothballed lines and stations.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves has announced the cancellation of the previous government’s Restoring Your Railway (RYR) scheme, to save £85 million and plug a budget gap of £22 billion she said had been left by the Conservatives. Transport Secretary Louise Haigh is to review transport infrastructure schemes currently under way.
The £150 million planned for the Tavistock to Bere Alston rail line had been promised following the cancellation of HS2 rail funds announced by former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak last October.
Campaigners said that funding for Tavistock was not coming from the RYR programme, even though it started as part of that scheme, meaning it is “far from dead in the water”.
