Channel 5 - Walking Britain's Lost Railways Series 3 (2020) Part 1 North Devon

Rob Bell revisits lines decommissioned in the 1960s and celebrates the new life that has been created from their remains.

Part 1 North Devon

Rob Bell discovers the now-abandoned lines that unlocked the wild coastline of north Devon. He begins by following the dramatic Barnstaple and Ilfracombe Railway, which once built, proved an instant success, eventually carrying the glamorous Atlantic Coast Express service, direct from London Waterloo. He crosses to the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, which traverses the wild terrain of Exmoor up to the cliff-top village of Lynton. Rob follows the adventurous, narrow-gauge route, discovering the extraordinary tale of the line's construction and the very short section that has been fully restored.
