Then and Now - West Devon Railways and Branchlines

A short trip back to the past. A montage of shots, some as far back as 1927, and their location in the present day(or as close as). Featuring stations formerly run by the LSWR and the GWR across West Devon. Starting at the next station down the line from where the last video finished, which was St. Budeaux Victoria Road, shots are taken at:

I hope you enjoy watching this. If you do, please like, comment, and subscribe; it really is rather flattering. You won’t find the Bideford to Halwill Junction line or the Tavistock & South Devon Railway in this film. The former will feature in Then & Now - North Devon and the latter in Then and Now - Dartmoor & South Hams.
