  • used to go on to Bideford and Torrington
  • Not only Bideford and Torrington (and beyond), but also towards Ilfracombe and Taunton. (There was also a narrow-guage railway from Barnstaple Town station to Lynton.) Many services also went onto Londons Paddington (GWR line via Barnstaple Victoria Road and Taunton) and Waterloo (LSWR line via Exeter / Salisbury).
