Some fabulous footage of the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway that I don't think I've uploaded before. I'm sure someone will correct me, but this looks like it could be one of the last, if not the last journey on this line. The train is shown here doing some trainy-things in Pilton Yard (I think?) before carrying on to Barnstaple Town Station - some nice footage of passing along Rolle Quay / Gould's Yard. The rest of the film is the outward journey to Lynton, but finishes with some footage of the auc

You won't need to be a railway buff to love this video I've had sent in. I've posted posted part of it before, but here's a much longer version of a train travelling into Barnstaple Junction & then all the way to Ilfracombe. Lots of landmarks, stations & interesting views. Complete crying shame that we were soon to be deprived of this line. I hope you like it, and I hope you share it! :-) JP. | Barnstaple History
