Exmoor Visitor Survey

Jun
23
2020

Thank you to those who have shared our Virtual Exmoor Visitor Survey already. We have opted to share the initial interim results to help those planning for re-opening, (especially as we expect the government to provide further details on plans for lifting at least some of the restrictions on the hospitality sector imminently).

On Track - Funding update June 2020

Jun
01
2020

The support for our ‘On Track’ appeal has been excellent – to date. Currently the total - including Gift Aid – stands at over £26,000. A very good result so far! This will help towards the costs that have and will continue to build up due to COVID-19.

Many thanks to all of you who have contributed to this vital appeal.

Re-opening the Railway, when possible, will involve all sorts of requirements including social-distancing, wider separation on the train and well as in any of our refreshment areas.

WIP at home: Thursday 7th Part II

May
08
2020

Roger Bye continues the story of the heritage station lamps.

Since last week it has come to light (!) that the barley twist lamps replaced the previously installed wooden ones at Woody Bay around 1933/34 - so very late in the life of the railway. So history is being repeated as we change from wooden to cast iron posts again.

This week we will look in more detail at the work Dave has been doing recently and continues at home during the current restrictions.
