Lines to Torrington

It is now more than 30 years since publication of the 1st Edition of this book in 1984, shortly after the line was closed. Originally research was concerned with construction of a model of the line in the Edwardian period; the model has been completed but the amount of information gathered resulted in the book. In recent years the authors have collected much more information, original documents and photographs so they decided to write a second edition. The order and contents of the chapters have been changed since 1984 to bring Lines To Torrington into a similar format to our recent books on the LSWR in the West of England. Some of the broad gauge content concerning the North Devon Railway between Crediton and Barnstaple has been published in the book The North Devon Line (Irwell Press 2010) so is not included here.
