Killington Lane railway station

Killington Lane railway station

.

The L&B originally opened in 1898, and closed in 1935.

Killington Lane opened to passenger services on 27 May 2006, as the rebuilding continues southwards towards the former Halt at Parracombe.

The station has been built alongside rather than actually on the original formation, allowing passengers to watch as work progresses in excavating the cutting (which, like several others, was filled in by the Council after the line closed in 1935) leading to Bridge 65, which, once rebuilt, will take the line under Killington Lane itself.

The wooden platform shelter, styled on those used elsewhere on the original line (such as at Snapper) is, like the carriage shed at Woody Bay, intended to be transportable, so the station can be moved to each new railhead as the reconstruction continues.
