The two main journeys across north Devon, from Exeter to Barnstaple (1978) and Ilfracombe to Braunton (1970), were produced after a meeting with six steam ‘veterans’, drivers all, who poured out memories and anecdotes.
Back Along North Devon’s Lines tells the story of the beautiful Devon lines, narrated by by Victor Thompson, who taught film-making and cine history through the lecture panel of the BFI in the 1960s.

What a treat this was to watch and learn about this beautifull line and all the now closed branch lines off it. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Fantastic record of lost line to Ilfracombe
