caption_attribution_description: English: Lynton and Barnstaple Railway train with AXE at Killington Lane terminus
context_page_description: Killington Lane is a temporary terminus about one mile southwest of Woody Bay on the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, the narrow gauge line that originally ran for 19 miles through Exmoor from Barnstaple to Lynton and Lynmouth in North Devon.
context_section_description: 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. The adjacent cutting is partially filled in leading to Bridge 65, which, once rebuilt, would allow the line to be rebuilt under and beyond Killington Lane.
  During 2013, with the introduction of three restored L&B heritage carriages, each 35 feet (11 m) long, and with a fourth being restored for delivery during 2014, the platform and run-round loop were extended to cater for larger trains.
