What it Looks Like Today:   Morebath Station to Morebath Junction

Morebath Station

   Although Morebath station isn't part of the Exe Valley Line(it's on the Devon & Somerset),I was still interested to see how it is today,so I set off with Christine,curious to see what we'd find.  We first drove to Morebath and headed for the old station which is to the east of Morebath village.I already knew that the old station house was now a residential dwelling,but we drove there and took a few pictures.The old gates are still there and it's easy to imagine the days when people would walk up the drive to catch their trains.

Bridge 1

    Next we went down the other fork in the road to where there used to be a bridge over the road,marked by an orange marker on our Google map.I have called this "bridge 1",but I wonder if it was known locally by another name?I'm no strucrtural engineer,but I believe this to be a beam bridge with the "beam" bit missing. The structure is in good condition for its age and the brickwork seems sound.

News From Down the Line

newslogo44Every now and then when I talk to people and they hear of my interest in the Exe Valley Railway,they tell me little bits of information or recall an old memory.It always amazes me how even today,more than 50 years after it's closure,the fondness with which people remember the railway and how fresh the memories seem to be to them.

This little section of the website is to pass on to you these little "titbits" and any other small pieces of information that I have come across.

24/4/19These interesting pictures of Dulverton Station were sent in by Fred Gillard, who visited in about 1970 to take some pictures for a model railway project that he was building. The station buildings were bought by the Carnarvon Arms (now closed down) and used as staff and overflow guest accommodation,before being converted into residential housing. Thank you very much Fred for taking the time to share your pictures.
