I walked this section this weeked. Oh my how it's changed.
Sustrains have ripped up everything, and now it's a cycle track! (are we going backwards in this country) The only thing left is Mideford Platform, and the steps.
@matthewt1501 At least it survives in some form, not left to revert to nature or turned into a bypass. If we can't have the trains, at least it's a nice bike ride.
Wonderful magnificant, filming of one of the most wonderful railways ever, with the wonderful tones of Ivo Peters spoken with perfect English

Is the sound on these films the actual sound or has it been added in afterwards like the Marsden Rail DVDs?

@theredraven I suspect like most films that use personal footage the sound was added as mics weren't common on many handhelds until later years.
