…The years following the end of the Great War 1914-1918 were ‘high summer’ for many railways. The 1921 Railways Act amalgamating the companies into the Big Four in 1923 continued the progress up to the Summer of 1939. With post-war rapid growth of car ownership and road freight, rationalisation gathered pace. The wholesale line closures of the 1950s-1960s resulted in one-time humble railway tickets becoming lasting iconic mementos of a lost age and lifestyle.

Bishops Nympton & Molland – Barnstaple Junction
2nd Class 3- Day Single Srl.No. 0497 Undated/Audit
The Devon and Somerset Railway was a cross-country line that connected Barnstaple in Devon to the network of the Bristol & Exeter Railway near Taunton. It was opened in stages between 1871 and 1873 and closed to passenger traffic from 1st October 1966. It served a mostly rural area although it carried some through services from east of Taunton to the seaside resort of Ilfracombe.A single platform was provided on the south side of the line two miles south-west of the village of Molland in Devon. A passing loop and second platform were added in 1876. From March 1876 the name was changed from ‘Molland’ to ‘Bishops Nympton and Molland’; the village of Bishops Nympton was a mere three miles south-west of the station.
Goods traffic was retained until 3 August 1964. Since being closed both the station building and the goods shed have been converted into houses and the eastbound platform remains within the station house’s garden
Barnstaple railway station in Devon is the northern terminus of the Tarka Line. It was known as Barnstaple Junction from 1874 to 1970 as it was the junction between lines to Ilfracombe, Bideford, Taunton and Exeter.
