Richard Westlake will first talk about his childhood memories and family connection to the branch line. He will then recall his days as a young firefighter at Okehampton, working trains to Bude and Padstow and finally the impact on staff and rural communities of the Beeching closures and replacement bus services. He will be interviewed by Dr Michael Ireland, Chair of Okerail and Vice Chair of Connect Bude. It is hoped that railway colleagues who also worked on the Bude branch line may attend this special event. This event is sponsored by Connect Bude which is campaigning to reinstate the railway to Bude and Holsworthy.
