Cranbrook to open this December

The new station at Cranbrook, to the east of Exeter on the line towards Salisbury and London Waterloo, is now set to open with the timetable change on December 14.

When Devon County Council submitted a planning application in March 2012, the intention was for building work on the single-platform, £4.5 million station to begin in spring 2013 (RAIL 693).

In April 2015, Network Rail put the opening as being in “summer 2015”, but in August this was then put back to October. One reason given by NR was “complications with the railway’s signalling system”.

    What about a new train station in Essex called Beaulieu Park northeast of Chelmsford which the new train station is next to the A12 Boreham Interchange. When will that new station will be built. Hopefully it should be opened in Mid 2017.
