is there a track layout plan for okehampton station circa 1947-60 available ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.102.24.103 ( talk • contribs) 20:40, 7 February 2007
I should think that there must be one in RA Cooke's Track layout diagrams... series of books. Otherwise try the Railway Studies Collection at Newton Abbot Library. if you can't get there in person, they are good at answering queries sent to them. Geof Sheppard 14:01, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Listed on the article page as "OKE", with a link to its facilities page on the national rail website. The latter page does not exist, the code appears to be either wrong or unrecognised. A search for a journey from okehampton on National Rail website yields results for okehampton under "XCG" for some reason (all buses, run by First Great Western, to Exeter). Can anyone explain? 82.10.108.49 ( talk) 23:59, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
The Line is complete between Okehampton and Exeter, I will be travelling/have travelled on it on Sunday, 20 June 2010. First Great Western run a train on the complete route. Dartmoor Railway run the bit between Yeoford and Okehampton, their website isn't updated very often. Could somebody double check this and update article as necessary. hrf ( talk) 23:59, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
I added the text that using the okehampton route to get to cornwall (in the event of the dawlish section being overwhelmed by the sea) requires "at least one reversal". I know that more likely it requires 2 (Exeter St Davids and Plymouth) since the mainline services come from Paddington, however if they come from Waterloo then they run straight through at Exeter St D, ergo 1 reversal. 82.10.108.49 ( talk) 13:37, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
@ Silas Mayes: I propose to merge Dartmoor Sunday Rover into Okehampton railway station. The material in Dartmoor Sunday Rover is clearly not substantial enough for an article in its own right. NHSavage ( talk) 08:34, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

West Devon Hub is the project name. The station will be called Okehampton Parkway or Okehampton East Parkway as with 200 car park spaces it will follow GWR practice. REVUpminster ( talk) 16:00, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
