LATEST PROJECTS

 

We finished resleepering some of our running line in January 2025,  We now move on to repairing the brake van and continuing to develop the new picnic area.  Our enhanced museum space will follow on later.

Our Instow site was also given a complete repaint over the 2024/25 Winter.

BRHC part of HERITAGE HARBOUR STATUS

 

Bideford and the River Torridge has been granted Heritage Harbour status by the Maritime Heritage Trust, joining eleven other ports whose contribution to Britain’s maritime history has been officially recognised.  More details under the News tab.

NEXT TRAIN RUNNING DATE:

Now that the track repairs have been completed, we'll let you know as soon as we can when we'll be giving cab rides again.

 

Travelling on and payment for the train

Only two passengers may travel at any time and children must be accompanied by an adult. Ride fares are £4 a head for adults and for children, but families with multiple children wishing to ride will not be charged again for the accompanying adult.
