Okehampton to Bude Line
The Okehampton–Bude line was a railway line built to serve Holsworthy, in Devon, and then Bude, on the Cornish coast near the Devon border in the United Kingdom. It branched from a main route at Meldon Junction, a little to the west of Okehampton, on the northern margin of Dartmoor. It opened in 1879 to Holsworthy and 1898 to Bude; the line is now closed.
The Bude branch (as it is called for short) diverged from the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) main line from Exeter to Plymouth at Meldon Junction (50°42′40″N 4°02′43″W / 50.7111°N 4.0454°W), and ran to Bude (50°49′30″N 4°32′35″W / 50.8249°N 4.5430°W) by way of Halwill and Holsworthy. The terrain it crossed was hilly, and largely agricultural, and population density was low. When the line was first constructed, Bude was not yet important enough to be an objective destination, and the line was at first built from Meldon Junction to Holsworthy.
