15th June 2006 - the Department for Transport finds the money to fund extra train services into Plymouth (calling at Ivybridge) - a positive outcome at least in the short term, and some great headlines 22nd June 2006 - the Labour party candidate, James Anthony Kirk, wins the by election at Southway for a seat on Plymouth City Council by just 106 votes. Plymouth City Council is very evenly balanced between Conservatives and Labour. Just the ONE seat changes control from one party to another. I note that more tickets are sold per train calling at Melksham than at Ivybridge. No-one has told me that the "Ivybridge decision" was made with the upcoming election in mind, but I certainly wouldn't mind us having a close-run and important election somewhere around here

DfT (from an FOI Ivybridge request.) -
"The Ivybridge service reductions have met with strong adverse public criticism. Our public line is that "we are examining whether there are options for providing additional services" ; although this is non-commital , there is a public expectation of some changes."
