- Bideford,_Westward_Ho!_and_Appledore_Railway abstract "The Bideford, Westward Ho! and Appledore Railway (B, WH & A, R) was most unusual amongst British railways in that although it was built as a standard gauge 4 ft 8 1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) line, it was not joined to the rest of the railway network, despite the London and South Western Railway having a station at Bideford East-the-Water, just on the other side of the river Torridge from the main town. The line was wholly situated on the peninsula made up of Westward Ho!, Northam and Appledore with extensive sand dunes by the Torridge and Taw estuary.The line opened in stages between 1901 and 1908, but closed in 1917, having been requisitioned by the War Office. Re-opening the line after World War I was considered, but dismissed as a viable option. The B.WH!&A.R. was the only railway company in the British Isles to have an exclamation mark in its company title.Charles Kingsley wrote the novel Westward Ho! and this led to a tourist boom on the peninsula, followed by the construction of a new town called Westward Ho!. This is the only case of the publication of a novel leading to the construction of a town and then a railway to serve it. The museum at Bideford station on the Bideford and Instow Railway has a display covering the B,WH!&A,R.".
