I don't really see a reason for these two to be separate articles. I would propose a merge but have no idea how and don't have much time right now; hopefully someone with more time will pick this up and do something. --Muzer (talk) 01:14, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
Agree The Avocet Line is the name given to the current service operated over the Exmouth Branch Line. As Wikipedia generlaly uses current names for its articles where possible, I feel that the Avocet Line page is the one that should be kept and expanded to include the history given in the newer article.

Agree I support this merge, they are the same line. I will close this in 7 days if there are no further comments, and invite the previous editor to do the merge (or do it myself). --NHSavage (talk) 19:59, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
Use of unqualified present tense
[edit]The article states that a number of things are the case. For example "[Exmouth station] is the fifth busiest in Devon." This turns out to be based on a 2009 document, i.e. 14 years ago. Is that true today? I don't know, but it's fundamentally unwise to use these statements without some time-based qualification. Can someone update it and add a time statement, please?

- Not able to take a good look myself at the moment, but it could be replaced with, say
In 2014, Exmouth...
