It’s great to see so many retired people enjoying life with a great aim. Maybe the local councils could get behind and back the schemes as we need railways they are the solution that was taken away by GREED and now we simply cannot build more roads and electric cars with lithium batteries are not the solution. The world needs to slow down a bit
The trains 🚂 running between Torrington and Bideford last ran in 1965 could be a thing of the future when the time 🕛 comes. It would probably be a good 👍 thing to happen. Where a train 🚂 could extend to Barnstaple via Bideford. It could happen to be a true dream 😴. If trains 🚂 run between Torrington and Barnstaple via Bideford and Instow, this could happen every hour runs everyday and public holidays except Christmas 🎄🤶🧑🎄🎅 Day and Boxing 🥊 Day, perhaps 🤔 could run on New Year’s Day 🥳🎉🪅🎈🎊 it means buses 🚍 on the roads may be reduced to depart Bideford to Barnstaple via Instow every 15 minutes 🕒 to every hour 🕛 depending how many people use the trains 🚆. Also if trains 🚊 run from Torrington to Barnstaple, it could run all the way to Exeter St Davids and Exeter Central. If the railway 🚃 track is completed ✅ between Torrington and Barnstaple via Instow & Bideford, it could commence on Sunday 1st September 2030. There is a directing bus 🚎 service runs from Torrington to Bideford is operated by Stagecoach 75 and Go Devon Bus 🚎 315 runs Mondays to Saturdays throughout the year except public holidays. 😍😎👍❤️💕
This is such good news. I didn’t know it even existed. I came this way on a special tour in the 70s. The line was open as far as Meeth for china clay.
Congratulations to the Tarka Railway Group
Hope they're safeguarding some of the route :)
Bring back the railways! The best way to see Devon!
Good luck with that. Visited many years ago.
Pls bring it back I live In Bideford and I really would like to see it moving 😊

Good luck .
Wouldn't it be nice if it eventually got back to Barnstaple, one can dream of course!!
I suspect the Barnstaple - Bideford section would have been the more commercially viable option but good
luck to them in any case
Perhaps a similar group in Bute working towards Torrington would help get the line up and running a lot sooner. Good luck to everyone involved.
I want the beeching axe to be reversed, the government needs to get its thumb out and get involved
Soon there will be real trains at biford
:D

The last train ran 6th November 1982.
Torrington station is quite a distance from the town at the bottom of s steep hill, probably why it wasn’t used and closed
