Westward Ho!

An independent standard-gauge line with no direct connection into the wider network. ....... The first section of the line was completed in 1901, the full line finished in 1908. All of the track and rolling stock were requisitioned during the war and the railway closed in 1917. The materials never saw active service! ........

I have been intending to follow up my first article about this line (http://rogerfarnworth.com/2019/06/04...art-1-railfile) with a second one. It has taken me sometime to complete it. This next article covers the line from Bideford to Westward Ho!

A final article from me which covers the remaining length of the line - the length from Westward Ho! to Appledore.
