Olympic Torch Convoy: 21st May
The Olympic Flame did indeed pass-by Woody Bay Station today.
Unfortunately they could not be persuaded to stop, so the view was only of the large convoy of vehicles making their way from Combe Martin to Lynton.
We understand that local towns and villages, where the flame was carried through the streets by runners, were packed with spectators, enjoying the timely return of warm weather. Several visitors enjoyed a train ride and refreshments at Woody Bay today, mainly people who were on their way to see the Torch Relay through Lynton.

Lyd: coal-fired with a nine coach train. Worth seeing!

Steamed for the first time as a coal burner on Monday 12th December 2011- the first time for 75 years that a coal-fired L&B loco has been seen in operation since Lew hauled the L&B's last demolition train in the summer of 1936.

Essex - Heritage Coaches Open Day in Photos
The Heritage Coaches of the L&BR were on view at the Great Yeldham Transport Museum Open Day, on Sunday 20th May 2012 from 10:00 am till 4:00 pm.
A steady stream of visitors came along to see the great progress that has been made restoring the coaches, and to meet new and old friends. It was a great day.
