For years, railways have linked people across the whole of Great Britain. However, in the 1960s, a significant proportion of the railway network was closed, and these railways lines have since remained lost and forgotten. Rob Bell sets out on a journey to uncover six of these forgotten lines to discover their history and the new life that has been created from their remains.
Rob explores two of North Devon's former railways - the Ilfracombe branch line of the London & South Western Railway (LSWR) that ran from Barnstaple to Ilfracombe, and the Barnstaple to Lynton line.
