Local MP Backs L&B!

NORTH Devon MP Nic Harvey has promised to help the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway Trust gain funding for expansion.

The trust announced plans last year to extend the line from its base at Woody Bay, which was expected to cost around £29 million, with the prospect of adding £70 million to the local economy within the first five years of opening.
