Appears to be the Wednesday afternoon, taken during the opening when they use the dignitaries to test the rides out ;-) Nice clear bit of footage, should be some familiar recognisable faces in there - tell us if you spot anyone you know!

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 | Facebook
