Drivers Eye View Barnstaple - Eggesford. Part 1 of 2 of the journey Barnstaple to Exeter St Davids.
This film is 3+ years old and was filmed as part of a project. Unfortunately due to restrictions imposed by Managers at the time in cab sound was not permitted to be recorded. This is filmed in 1080HD.
I have only posted this video as the route was requested by several subscribers. The Video is not the best quality. The outward journey from Exeter to Barnstaple was in persistant rain and unfortunately the second mans side windcreen was in a bit of a state. This is most probably due to anti-spalling film on the windows. So very sorry for that in advance.
Apart from that please enjoying this journey along this time forgotten branch line in Devon, especially if like Me you are in or going into Tier 3 Covid-19 lockdown.

Wow its nearly 50 years since I travelled that line, a mere lad of 17 and working as a labourer for two floor layers on barnstable hospital . Watching this I must do it one more time . Lovely rural line and old stations.
In fact, although one branch did commence at Ilfracombe, the other went way beyond Bideford and on out through Torrington to Halwill Junction and thence on to Bude. As a boy in Bideford in the late 50's, I clearly remember the track as still being double right through to Torrington, beyond which freight still continued through to Halwill. In those days the Atlantic Express started at three locations - the Ilfracombe and Torrington sections joined at Barnstaple Junction, then continued on to Yeoford where the Plymouth section joined having travelled via Tavistock and Okehampton. The whole train then journeyed through Exeter St David's and Central, on through Yeovil Junction and Salisbury to London Waterloo.
I never get tired of riding thru england's beautiful countryside.

Neither do I
I open two YT pages watching this on one and playing train soundtrack on the other.
What a pity that this line does not start again from Ilfracombe
What a state the ceases are in compared with BR standards. Suppose to be a safe walking area for staff and contractors not a overgrown mess
Since this video was made, the old and very bumpy class 150 trains have been replaced with the class 158, making the journey much more comfortable.

Just released.
Looks like it's been a long time since this line was double tracked. Little sine it ever was in places.
