In the background can be seen the original Wembley Stadium which opened in 1923 and was in use until 2000 when it closed for rebuilding. The current stadium opened in 2007.

This is the former main line from Plymouth to Waterloo via Exeter. The section from Bere Alston to Meldon quarry near Okehampton closed completely in May 1968 and some of the route is now a cycle path.
