  Replacing trains with trams could herald a transport revolution for Plymouth, according to a South West expert. Using light-rail vehicles on the Tamar Valley branch line into the city is suggested in a Government-commissioned study.

  What will Government and Council Subsidy Cuts mean to Public Transport for Tavistock and its rural areas? One thing for sure it will not mean improvement.

I'm sure there are lots of unhappy drivers out there!

  Did you know that there are currently 282 lift sharing opportunities in Tavistock through liftshare.com? National Liftshare Week has started today, so if you haven't tried it before, then now's the time to look in to it. My sister has just started car sharing from Callington to Torpoint, and so far it's working out brilliantly - half the petrol costs, half the pollution, and someone to talk to on your journeys :) Have you tried it...
