"No subsidy is being paid by Central or local government, so the trains have to stand on their own financially." Mr Conibeare added: "Ever since the railway re-opened in 1976 it has been asserted that there is a strong local demand for trains to and from Taunton." "This is an opportunity to assess the potential market and also to persuade visitors to the area the journey can be made by public transport." |
