Barnstaple station in 1964

The Devon and Somerset Railway was a cross-country line that connected Barnstaple in Devon, England, to the network of the Bristol and Exeter Railway near Taunton. It was opened in stages between 1871 and 1873 and closed in 1966. It served a mostly rural area although it carried some through services from east of Taunton to the seaside resort of Ilfracombe. From 1988 onwards the route of the line west of South Molton was redeveloped to form the part of the North Devon Link Road.
