Lauder Food Depot: The WWII buffer food depot at Lauder was rail connected. It was still in use when photographed in 2009 (see image [[27003]]) but has since been demolished and the plot of land it stood on is for sale.

Okehampton: A wintry but bright first day of 1971 sees a single unit railcar about to depart Okehampton for Exeter. By this time the line beyond Okehampton was closed other than for stone traffic from Meldon Quarry and the branch itself would loose its passenger service as from 5th June 1972.
