  I've cycled the Barnstaple to Braunton stretch and the Mortehoe to ilfracombe stretch, but for whatever reason (maybe land owners refusal) but the cycle track doesn't go from Braunton to Mortehoe. But i have heard there is a possibility of linking that section up too. which would be great, as you could then cycle the old railway line all the way from Ilfracombe to Meeth in the heart of Devon. That would be pretty much 41 miles of continuous old railway lines you could cycle then.

  In late wartime I travelled on this line west from MC to East Rudham, where the station is still visible. We were met by horse and trap to take us to our destination. My sole memory of the journey is the train steaming in from the east.

  This is one of those rare lines you can follow and observe from the roads to pateley bridge, sadly it was just a branch off a main line to the north that beeching shut. But, there are plans to open the entire length from Ripley to pateley bridge as a walking/cycling path.

  As originally opened the first station on the branch was Maidenhead Boyne Hill, the entrance to the station can still be seen in the bridge over the line, the station closed in 1870. The original Brunel terminus station at Wycombe with overall train shed roof and engine shed still survives, it closed in 1864 and was then used as a goods shed.

  Thank you for putting that together - really fascinating stuff and, as a Maidenhead resident, I only found out recently that there used to be a connecting line between Maidenhead and High Wycombe. It seems mad that they ever got rid of it.

  @Mortimer5014515 күн бұрын

  Coming into High Wycombe from the Loudwater direction, I have to remind myself that this was originally "the" route into HW; the Chiltern (ex GWR) route from Beaconsfield which joins from the right came a lot later in 1910. In an alternative universe where technology was developed a couple of decades earlier than in real life, it would have been fantastic if all the lines which Beeching proposed for closure had been given the Don Coffey treatment - a cab-view video with well-researched and informative captions - to preserve the experience for posterity. But video cameras only became available in the 1980s, and the cost of cine film for a long route would have been prohibitive.

  Brilliant! Fantastic! I have vague memories when I was 3 (so 1966) of my grandpa, a keen railway enthusiast, taking me for my very first ride on a train, probably to get me out of the house in Maidenhead while my mum was in labour with my sister. I remember sitting at the front of a 1st Generation DMU looking through the cab out of the front window and the driver inviting me into his cab to "help him drive". It was either on the GW main line to Slough or Twyford, or else more likely on the Bourne End and High Wycombe line. A memorable day! I wish I'd asked my grandpa before he died in 1979 whether he remembered which line it had been. It's plausible that it was teh Bourne End line, since that didn't close to passengers until 1970.

  @@tsd550 Exactly. I was standing with my nose pressed up against the glass of the interior window into the driver's cab. I actually had a forward view - the cab didn't have a solid wall between the passeneger and driver, so passengers could actually see out. And this driver hadn't drawn the internal privacy blinds. When we stopped at a station, the driver noticed me and opened the interior door and invited me into the cab. I remember standing by "the steering wheel" (the screw-down handbrake). I can't remember whether or not he let me stand there while he drove to the next station, or whether I had to leave once he was ready to set off. But it made my day. That was in the mid sixties. Things have changed now, to the extent that photos and videos of a driver's controls and "dashboard" are sometimes deprecated on the grounds that they might help an unskilled person to drive a train as a prank or for terrorist purposes.
