School children from Newtown Primary School in Exeter will be launching a new poster they have designed to promote travel on the Avocet Line, the branch line which links Exeter and Exmouth.

Courtesy of First Great Western, the children were taken on a familiarisation trip from Polsloe Bridge station to Exmouth by the Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership and members of the Avocet Line Rail Users Group (ALRUG) last summer.

They drew sketches of everything they saw on the trip and learnt about the history of the railway and how it shaped Exmouth. Back in class, the sketches...

Just hop on a train, go to your mums house and have a home cooked meal? Not quite! The catch is that you cannot spend any money, we will be relying on our skills of persuasion to try and hitch a ride or hope that the sight of a girl wearing crutches will make drivers pity us and decide to take us on the ferry. We figured we may as well go full out and set our destination for Australia... Crazy I know...
