	Looe Holiday Apartments - Looe History
		Looe (Cornish: Logh) is a coastal town in the Caradon district of south-east Cornwall, England, UK, with a population of 5280 (2001 census).
		West Looe was given free borough status sometime after this (the first known historical mention of the town dates from 1327) and in the 1230s East Looe gained the right to hold a weekly market and a Michaelmas fair.
		Looe's main business today is, however, tourism, with much of the town given over to hotels, guest houses and holiday homes, along with a large number of pubs, restaurants, and shops selling beach equipment, ice cream and Cornish pasties.

	Looe Valley Walking
		For centuries the Looe Valley has been shaped by the progress of the agricultural industry, and at one time every farm had an orchard for producing cider.
		The line from Coombe Junction passes through the heavily wooded river valley, with river, railway and the remains of the old Liskeard - Looe Union Canal (whose owners built the line) passing very close together, remnants of which can still be seen today.
		For the next two miles, the line passes right along the side of the estuary, beautiful especially when the tide is in and a delight for bird-watchers with the tide out.

	Looe
		The parish of Looe whose name means 'pool or inlet' is on the south coast of Cornwall.
		There are actually two towns, East and West Looe, divided by the estuary of the Looe River and connected by a nine arch bridge rebuilt in 1853 due to the lack of maintenance as neither east or west would accept responsibility for the upkeep.
		The Looe valley rail line “a single track railway” which runs between Liskeard & Looe is well worth the round trip and a good excuse to leave the car behind and spend time taking in the market town of Liskeard.

	Advice for visitors to Looe, Cornwall
		Looe, not surprisingly, is busiest in the middle of the summer, during school holidays (second half of July, August and first week of September).
		Looe has been said (by the Sunday Times) to be one of the top four spots in Britain to celebrate New Year's Eve.
		Although not so many people come to Looe by railway as could be the case (due partly to limited service and dubious reliability, especially of connection, poor information and too-small trains which cannot cope with the crowds in high season), the scenic line is a good holiday trip.

	Tyne Valley Line - Slider
		The 60 mile (96 km) line was built in the 1830s, and links the city of Newcastle upon Tyne in Tyne and Wear with Carlisle in Cumbria.
		The line was built in sections from 1834 onwards; the entire route between Carlisle London Road station and Redheugh in Gateshead was formally opened to passengers on 18 June 1838.
		The line is not an electrified route; passenger services are therefore operated by diesel multiple units, typically Class 142 "Pacers" and Class 156 "Super Sprinters" which were introduced in the late 1980s.

	Abbeyline
		When the SRA published their Community Rail Development strategy in February 2004, they identified the Abbey Line as one of six lines across the UK where ideas and initiatives, particularly with regards to infrastructure enhancements, could be tried in a controlled way.
		The lines under consideration as 'Pilot Projects' each have a unique attribute; in our case we are the only overhead electrified, suburban branch line.
		The Abbey Line is in a privileged position as the impetus to rebuild the passing loop has been around for years.

	Executive () - Tue Jul 12 2005
		However, Looe Line and Tamar Valley Line are identified within the specification for the Greater Western Franchise as lines which may be excluded from the franchise if an alternative method of operation emerges.
		Therefore, the County Council is recommended to support designation of the Tamar Valley Line as a Community Rail line and to commit to the on-going work on the pilot.
		Maintaining Devon s branch lines for the future, as part of the public transport in the County, is an important factor in meeting the shared priorities for both tackling congestion and accessibility.

		This scenic line winds its way for just over 8 miles through unspoilt countryside, hugging the steep sided valley of the East Looe River before skirting the estuary edge, passing the heronry as the river becomes tidal and prepares to enter the sea.
		This was closed in 1963, and in 1974 Eric Booth, the founder of Lappa Valley, reopened part of the line as a narrow-gauge railway.
		The valley was once a busy copper mining area and reminders of its industrial past can be seen from the train, together with a few cultivated slopes in a valley where market gardening once thrived.
