20 November - Dartmoor Line reopened in 2021.
Love that and similar stories. Far too many accidents and closures come up by date, and far too few openings! On Monday, headline link on the forum will take you to Okehampton!

19th November 2011 Last Boat train to Stranraer ran.
I have added that to the "on this day" diary - also learned that "According to Herald Scotland, the Stranraer Sleeper ceased on 14th May 1990.". (Railforums Thread). Very interesting read from Hansard in defence of the sleeper in 1970. Stranraer is just about as obscure from GWR territory as you can get on the UK mainland ...
From RailScot:
The very last "boat train" to Stranraer will run on Saturday 19th November 2011. This will be the 1704 service from Kilmarnock arriving at Stranraer at 1852 for the 1955 sailing of the Stena Voyager to Belfast. The 1945 ScotRail service to Glasgow Central will be the last ever boat train from Stranraer. Although ferry sailings will not cease from Stranraer until the following day, with the last sailing to Belfast being the 1955 HSS, ironically after 150 years buses ...

Little or nothing at all for November 31st! 
I thought November 31st was when they will be trying out the new hourly service to Pilning just for one day.

The "on this day" diary is looking a little thin for the rest of this month. What can members offer me as "it happened on THIS day in a previous year" for ...
