No 1. Barnstaple.

Yep and I've swapped the photo with the original from the edited deleted destination.

These refurbished 143s have in my opinion the most comfortable seats of anything we get in Devon and Cornwall.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.
