- Ilfracombe_Branch_Line abstract "The Ilfracombe Branch of the London & South Western Railway (LSWR), ran between Barnstaple and Ilfracombe in North Devon. The branch opened as a single-track line in 1874, but was sufficiently popular that it needed to be upgraded to double-track in 1889.The 1-in-36 gradient between Ilfracombe and Mortehoe stations was one of the steepest sections of double track railway line in the country, and was most certainly the fiercest climb from any terminus station in the UK.[citation needed] In the days of steam traction, it was often necessary to double-head departing passenger trains.'Named' trains like the Atlantic Coast Express and the Devon Belle both started and terminated at Ilfracombe.Despite nearly a century of bringing much-needed revenue into this remote corner of the county, passenger numbers dropped dramatically in the years following the Second World War due to a massive increase in the number of cars on Britain's roads, and the line finally closed in 1970.Much of the course of the line is still visible today, and sections of it have been converted into public cycleways.".
