Wonderful. I walked most of the line in 1972 with my dad, all was intact, just waiting for a train which never came (until the demolition train in about 1977) Grass swaying between the red rusted rails in the summer breeze, a ghostly sight, completely abandoned, only a few gulls and skylarks, a fox and some grasshoppers for company on our lonely walks.

What politicians were thinking was this. You had ministers of transport who were either directly or indirectly associated with road transport industries and governments that wanted to follow American practices of increasing car ownership to support the car industries and the general British economy.. A more affluent British population wanted to "buy into" the individual freedom of car ownership. Trains bad , cars good was the message from government and industry andvthe people fell for it..a little like Brexit.

Well, I doubt we would have gone to Cyprus in 1963 to 1965 as it was a war zone in those days. As far as Italy is concerned my parents did that in the 50's. Not bothered about Spain. During the years 1963 to 1965 I was 8 to 10 years old my recollection of the weather was long sunny days. I am not bothered by rain I live in the Lake District. I accept that by the 1980's Ilfracombe had faded as a resort, in the early 60's it was fine.

Such a shame that this line closed as the local council now wish that the line was still there. Ilfracombe as a holiday destination declined drastically after the railway closed. John Howard Turner once said to me that the line only ever lost money one year and during the last war.Just before it closed track was renewed at a cost of 1.25 million. Some of this new rail can be seen holding back the new sustrans cyclepath to Braunton. It is very clear from this old film that should still be and use!

One of the main excuses used by BR in those days for closing these lines was that nobody used them anymore!! Look at all of those people pouring onto those platforms!! That 1 train alone in its journey took probably at least 100 cars off the roads, possibly more!! We must have been completely insane and very short sighted to adopt the policy of line closure in the UK. Today we're now paying the price with heavily congested roads and motorways!!

Thank you for your comment and interest. Yes indeed most of the branch lines around the south west suffered from British Rail's flawed method of accounting. Sadly everything west of Barnstaple is gone now and the former junction station reduced to a single line. Not even a run-round loop so loco and stock trains are no longer a possibility. As for the junction yard, it is now occupied by a Tesco supermarket.

Fascinating film. Seeing all the passengers get off the train at Ilfracombe and then the number of people get on the train, you have to think that the mandarins at the DoT and BR totally ignored the fact that all these people would then probably buy cars and clog up the roads of north Devon. If only they had the foresight to leave the track formation down, it could have been opened up again the 90's and would no doubt be very popular today, giving the communities a good transport link back down to Barnstaple and Exeter. I assume this train was Waterloo bound?

Nice video, thanks. You'd never believe that this line was shut because of lack of use, would you? Trouble is, like so many Devon branches, the high usage was very seasonal. Must have been a disaster for the town, the hotel trade and the many retired residents in Ilfracombe from1970 onwards - it's not the easiest place to reach by road. I can personally recall the Seaton Branch in East Devon during it's last full Summer in 1967. Much the same thing. Packed with tourists, mostly from London and the Midlands, changing at Seaton Junction from the old South Western rail line from Waterloo. Many were passengers for the Warner holiday camp. Didn't save it though. Many trains ran with less than a dozen passengers in Winter.

The first train 🚂 ran from Barnstaple to Ilfracombe via Braunton in north Devon southwest England 🏴 was dated Sunday 30th July 1874. The railway 🚃 track was single until 1888 when it was increased to double track. This is because 2 trains 🚂 run on the different directions 🧭 at the same time 🕕. It was also that plenty of rail 🚊 passengers concentrated using the trains 🚊. It was steam trains 🚊 at the time until 1964 when they were replaced by diesel multiple units. The railway 🚃 track became singled in 1967 due to lack of passengers and were reducing down to limited amount of rail passengers everyday. The double track happened between Barnstaple and Ilfracombe via Braunton for 79 years from 1888 to 1967. By Saturday 3rd October 1970 was the last train 🚆 ran from Barnstaple to Ilfracombe via Braunton because not enough people used the trains 🚊, sadly😢 losing money 💵. It was best to pack up the line. Trains 🚂 runs from Barnstaple to Ilfracombe via Braunton is a thing of the past. Over 52 years since it last happened. As a result of north Devon is a small place happens to be a rural area, trains 🚊 won’t go to Ilfracombe anymore. People transport by cars between Barnstaple and Ilfracombe via front main road via Braunton, middle road via Prixford and finally back road via Muddiford. Also trains 🚊 last ran to Bideford in 1982 or 1983. Barnstaple railway station 🚉 is now the terminus railway 🚃 station 🚉 has a single track. It used to be called Barnstaple Junction. Of course Barnstaple railway 🚃 station 🚉 still goes strong 💪 everyday. People use the bus 🚎 is Stagecoach 21/21A Barnstaple to Ilfracombe via Braunton runs daily and public holidays except Christmas 🎄 Day, Boxing 🥊 Day and New Year’s Day 🎈. Also to Westward Ho! route 21 and to Appledore in north Devon route 21A via Bickington, Fremington, Yelland, Instow, Bideford and Northam runs daily and public holidays except Christmas 🎄 Day, Boxing 🥊 Day and New Year’s Day 🍾🎏🎈🎊🎉🪅. I honestly have walked on the Ilfracombe to Barnstaple and Bideford to Barnstaple line in the past. I honestly love💜❤️💘💕💓❤️🩹 Ilfracombe former railway 🚃 line. It makes me feel happy 😆. The cairn is in Ilfracombe. Very quiet 🤐 on the former line. At Mortehoe and Woolacombe railway 🚃 station 🚉 used to be Once Upon a Time. It was replaced by houses 🏘. The likely that trains 🚊 will return back to Ilfracombe is touchwood means it honestly won’t happen in the future when the time 🕥 comes. 🥰😍👍🚆🚇🚊🚉🚞🚂🚋🚃

The fact is, even by the standards of the day the branch line journeys were tediously slow. Cornwall Railway Society's website has a timetable from Taunton to Barnstaple and Ilfracombe, showing a journey time of 2hrs 44mins from Taunton to Ilfracombe. The last time I went from home just outside Taunton to the Pall Europe factory on the site of the old Ilfracombe station it took me 54 minutes. I suspect in the old Cortina in the video it wouldn't have taken more than 90 mins.

Chris I found your video fascinating for a variety of reasons. However I suspect that the views were not all shot on the same Saturday in 1970. The views of 829 Champion are working the Summer Saturday London train. If the edits are in chronological order then it shows 3 trains prior to this (a Hymek hauled train, then Warship 814 Dragon and another Hymek). There were only 3 earlier trains to Ilfracombe and the first arrived in Barnstaple at 0508 and would not have passed a DMU near Barnstaple.

this is highly questionable: Most people are not interested in trains witness the amount of people who fled them for private cars in the late 1950's early 1960's.Trains should be made to pay - that coupled with an assault on private transport is the only way to get the travelling public to understand that cars are a luxury we can no longer afford as seen by the way they have ruined all cities across the world - apart from Singapore which has at least made an effort to curb their use.
