THANKS
Foremost, I must thank Mr Keith Vingoe for sparing me his time and imparting his extensive knowledge of all things L&B, together with the many superb photos of the railway which he has supplied. I could have made this film without him, but it would not have had the substance, accuracy or detail that he has leant to it. For his help, I am immensely grateful.

Many thanks also to those subscribers named in the credits who have contributed money to this channel. These funds helped me to make this film - it is as simple as that. Thank you kindly.

CORRECTIONS & NOTES
Whilst I have tried to ensure that the archive footage is location accurate, there are a couple of moments where I have had to use it for illustrative purposes (e.g. to suggest the onward movement of our journey along the line). I hope this does not cause anyone too much distress.

One example of the above is at 28.17 - the platform here is, in fact, Blackmoor, but it helped to illustrate passenger movement at this point in the film.
