A view from the front of a train on the London and South West Railway as it travels around the countryside of Ilfracombe in Devon. It passes under a bridge before it travels along a long and winding track. It passes along a valley where a reservoir is visible down below. The train enters and travels through a short tunnel. It travels far along the track before it arrives at a station, passes along a platform and stops under a sheltered section of the platform at the end of the line.
