DEVONS RAILWAYS
This, the first of two volumes covering the railways of Devon, follows the routes of the two main lines that enter the county from the east. It then takes the reader over the former Southern Region line from Axminster through rolling countryside to Exeter where the two routes meet. Firstly, the former Western Region line is examined as it runs from Whiteball Tunnel in the Blackdown Hills and down along the attractive Culm and Exe Valleys to the county town of Exeter.
Finally, a look is taken at the Okehampton branch, which has just been acquired by Network Rail and is about to In addition, the book explores the branch lines that are still open in this part of the county; firstly, the one to Exmouth, which runs beside the Exe estuary for half of its length, and then by way of a contrast, the line to Barnstaple, which penetrates the rural heart of Devon to reach the county's north coast.
