Important Railway Meeting: A public meeting convened by requisition was held oat the Town Hall on Tuesday evening, for the purpose of considering the existing railway communication between this town, Torquay and Exeter. The requisition was signed by the following leading inhabitants of the place, the greater portion of whom were present: … (includes) … T. Pinsent, jun. … (complaints about the South Devon Company service by Mr. Harris and discussion of a possible competing Teign valley line: … rebuttal by South Devon representatives) … In reply to Mr. Harvey and Mr. Michelmore, Mr. Harris stated that it was proposed to extend the Teign Valley line from Jew’s Bridge through Bella Marsh, round by Sandford Orleigh, across the Ashburton Road, down by Lower Bradley, thence to near Wolborough Church, over the Decy to Kingskerswell on to Torquay, leaving St. Mary Church on the left, and to come out near Morgan’s Nursery. He did not think it was intended to go through the town of Torquay. The South Devon Company might therefore rest assured unless they provided better accommodation, their new line would be cut. The amendment was then put to the meeting and carried by a large majority. Messrs. E. Ford, W.J. Watts, Bearne, E.C. Kent, T. Pinsent and J. Stevens were appointed on the committee to carry the amendment into effect. A cordial vote of thanks to the chairman for presiding brought the meeting to a close.
