Overall:

Basically, this page is in a Good Article shape and form. However, this page records the restoration of a closed narrow gauge railway in North Devon, UK, and should be updated on a regular basis. With 39 watchers, this should not be a difficult task. Below are some observations that may merit attention - and possibly inclusion - in various sections, such as Present, Restoration and Prospects.

There is a citation needed tag on the twinning with the Walhalla Goldfields Railway. Consider this link.
Chelfham Station restoration has won a National Railway Heritage Award.

Parracombe Halt has been purchased.

Bratton Fleming Station has been purchased.

Planning the rebuild of the railway might be an inclusion

Killington Lane to Blackmoor and Wistlandpound may serve as a useful reference

The challenges of rebuilding Woody Bay to Lynton are also documented.

Should these matters be responded or attended to, the article may retain GA status. --Whiteguru (talk) 04:29, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
