Visitor Attractions
A railway museum exists in the rebuilt Bideford signal box and also in the green PMV (Parcels and Miscellaneous Van). Short passenger rides were given at Bideford until 2006 when vandalism temporarily prevented services operating. The site was mothballed in 2008 when housing development threatened to encroach on the trackbed. This threat has now been removed and the company is working on renovating the site and rolling stock, so that services can recommence. The site is accessible from the Tarka Trail and the museum is open when staffing allows.

Famous quotes containing the words visitor and/or attractions:
“In verity ... we are the poor. This humanity we would claim for ourselves is the legacy, not only of the Enlightenment, but of the thousands and thousands of European peasants and poor townspeople who came here bringing their humanity and their sufferings with them. It is the absence of a stable upper class that is responsible for much of the vulgarity of the American scene. Should we blush before the visitor for this deficiency?”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.”
—Andy Warhol (1928–1987)
