The 1' 11 5/8" gauge L&B was closed in 1935, a short length reopened at Woody Bay in 2004.  In this view, nearest the camera, is an original L&BR bogie brake van built in 1908.

Another view of 23, which is alongside the station entrance.  Fortunate that some original stock has survived so long after the Southern Railway closed the line.

Very much not original is this diesel Titch which was stabled in the station on Easter Day 2005.

Passenger rides were being given by Peter Pan which was once owned by Devon County Council and operated at Beacon Down Quarry in Parracombe until 1959.

Peter Pan leaving Woody Bay with a one coach train, like many railways at present the coal available is rather smoky unfortunately.  Coach 1 is one of a batch of 8 bought by the new railway, three are in use at the Milky Way Adventure Park, the others will be brought into use as required on the line from Woody Bay.

A last view of Peter Pan leaving on her short journey, at present it is only a mile round trip but work is progressing on the next section.

With the platform clear, a better view of coach 7, another original vehicle which was built in Bristol in 1898.  It is a 50 seat 3rd. observation coach which is awaiting fitting with proper reproduction bogies and couplings.

My visit was very brief, I hope to get back there soon though, in the meantime there is much more about the L&BR on Lynton & Barnstaple Railway .
