North Devon & Cornwall Junction Light Railway Centenary

26/07/2025

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the North Devon and Cornwall Junction Light Railway, the Tarka Valley Railway is holding a centenary event at Torrington Station between 1000 and 1600 on July 26th and July 27th.

We understand TVR will be running trips with their Class 143 ‘Pacer’ DMU set number 143617. Their other rolling stock will be available for inspection together with a display of photos and information on the history of the North Devon and Cornwall Junction Light Railway. The ND&CJLR was engineered by Colonel Stephens and opened in 1925 between Torrington and Halwill Junction, using part of the earlier Torrington & Marland narrow gauge railway.
