Bideford Quay Station was a railway station in Bideford, north Devon; the southern terminus on the Bideford, Westward Ho! and Appledore Railway, serving the town and passengers from Bideford railway station on the London and South Western Railway. It lay on Bideford Quay where the company offices were situated.
History
The station lay on Bideford Quay and had a siding[1] and after considerable opposition from the town council a run round loop.[2] Situated on a public road the rails were not set on standard railway sleepers, running instead on sunken longitudinal timbers.[3]
Infrastructure
The station had freight facilities consisting of a single siding and a parcels service. A platform was not provided and the first section running towards the Pill Road was a tramway, however the run round loop allowed for locomotives to run round the coaches.
Micro history
In January 1901, the first train, with one carriage, ran from Bideford to Northam carrying a few friends of the Directors.[4]
