On Saturday, October 21 I made a journey by train from Exeter to Okehampton to visit my daughter who lives near Bridestowe. At 3.15pm she drove me to the station to catch the 3.25 train back to Exeter. To our amazement we were unable to drive to the station from the town centre due to a road closure unbeknown to us. On asking an official how do we get to the station he just shrugged his shoulders. 

My daughter thought we could get to the station via another route so we went on the A30 to get into town another way only to be told road was closed so unfortunately she had to drive me back to Exeter. 

I just do not understand how the only road to Okehampton Station can be closed to the public wanting to catch a train.
