Devon's railway history began when the main line from London reached Exeter in 1844. In the heyday of the railway age, Devon also boasted over 400 miles of branch lines and sidings - nearly all of them to disappear by the end of the 20th century. This book tells the story of the lost lines - the reason for their construction and for their closure.
