Residents of West Devon will now be able to make use of a brand-new connection point as Okehampton Interchange station has begun offering passenger services. Joanna Grew, Route Strategy Director for Network Rail and GWR, said: It's fantastic to see Okehampton Interchange open and ready to welcome its first passengers. Okehampton Interchange station features a 200-space car park, sheltered cycle storage and a covered bus interchange, with electric vehicle charging points set to be introduced at the station in the coming months. Bids for the station were handled by West Devon Borough Council, with support from Devon County Council on the business case – with both authorities providing match funding. Devon County Council led the delivery of walking, cycling and bus facilities on Hameldown Road, constructed by Kennford Tarmacadam, and the environmental work through its consultants WSP.
